Census Won't Acknowledge Gay Marriage

Saturday, 12 July 2008

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Same-sex couple won't be counted as married in the 2010 census, despite what their California marriage license says because the Bureau is playing strictly by the federal rule book on this one.

Census-takers don't ask about sexual orientation, but they do enquire as to how you're related to other members of your household. If a woman refers to another woman as her wife the two will be put into the unmarried category. Their household won't be considered a family. the rest image
