From ALGPC: Second LGBT 2010 Census Town Hall March 23 at MCC
There will be a second LGBT 2010 Census Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, March 23rd at the Metropolitan Community Church, 8601 South 1st St. beginning at 7:00 PM.
Come learn about important changes made by the U.S. Census Bureau that will affect how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are counted. The Census Bureau recently announced a policy change. When gay and lesbian couples indicate they are married on the 2010 form, the Census will count them as married. This makes the Census the first Federal agency to recognize marriage of gay and lesbian couples. While the Census does not ask anyone for their sexual orientation, it is important to note that knowing which "boxes" to check on the Census form will directly affect the counting of LGBT households. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRFh1Q0SpF0
