2010 Census Will Count Same-Sex Couples

From NPR:

Next year, for the first time, the United States census will count same-sex couples who identify themselves as spouses. Previously these people were identified as unmarried partners. Guest host Jennifer Ludden discusses the effort and its implications for the gay rights movement with demographer Gary Gates; he’s a senior research fellow at the UCLA School of Law, and a member of “Our Families Count,” a census advocacy campaign for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

    About time. Maybe this will inform the far right of the harm they are committing to 30 millions of people across America.

    Excellent! This will be very helpful in determining a more accurate estimate as to just how many homosexuals and same-sex couples there are here in the U.S.
