Guardian - The US Census
Bureau this year plans to test questions about sexual orientation and
gender identity for its most comprehensive survey of American life. The test questions will be sent to 480,000 households, with the statistical agency expecting just over half to respond. If
the questions are approved, it will be the first time sexual
orientation and gender identity questions are asked on the American
Community Survey, which already asks questions about commuting times,
internet access, family life, income, education levels, disabilities and
military service, among other topics.

The brains of Republican legislators are all in the toilet. Lets send them to the treatment plant
The American Community Survey is an awful invasive nosy piece of crap to the people unlucky enough to get sent one. I got one about a decade ago and it was full of very private questions about my home and family that I would never give out, since I care about my privacy. I did not return it, and nobody has ever bothered me about that.
