oh, it totally, totally is. :D and you don't normally expect elegance from anything associated with us gov't bureaucracy. and y'know, for once when all those "but think of the children!" traditional-definition-of-marriage folks bitch and moan about there being an agenda behind this, well, there actually kind of is. but it's a very inclusive agenda.

that icon is perfect.

I ordered a bright pink sticker being promoted by LGBT groups to "queer the census". It let you check gay, bi, trans, or straight ally. Put it on the envelope before sending the census in.

Look how cute they are! Wow, you look just like your dad...

I still wish they would count all LGBT people and not just the "married" ones. Single LGBT aren't counted. Also, Trans arent' counted either, though the bureau did say they should put down the gender they consider themselves regardless of physical anatomy, so that's something I guess.

they were! and yeah, i really do. but i have more hair. :D

there's apparently a movement afoot to get the census to count sexual orientation for single lgbt folks. the census bureau guy in the article said it will take an act of congress, tho, and is kind of beyond his scope.

Yay for the census bureau!

"focus on the family type groups are predictably upset, but they can suck it." amen.
