Hi, if you identify as LGBTQ+ in any way, or are an ally, please take a moment to add your name to this.
I think its important for gender identity and sexuality to be included on the census, so the bureau can give a report on how common it is to identify as such. There seems to be the idea among those who dont identify as LGBTQ+ that it is ‘rare’ or ‘unusual’ to meet someone who does identify as such, and if the census were to record this, it would help fight that idea, and could help fight for rights and such, since we can show that we are not rare and not a minority of the population that can be ignored…
(Its not my petition, but I got an email about it and I want to spread it around)
