The survey won’t inquire about individuals’ sexual orientation and gender identity, but the LGBTQ data the 2020 census does collect will be useful, according to advocacy groups. - NBCOUT
’ reporting from 2017, LGBTQ advocates pushed to add an explicit question about sexual orientation and gender identity, and they briefly rejoiced when a draft of the census was leaked in 2017 showing such a question. But soon after, the Census Bureau issued a statement saying that the question had been a “mistake.”
Even so, the LGBTQ data the 2020 census does collect will be useful, according to advocacy groups. Knowledge about the “number of same-sex couples that are raising kids, the geography of where same-sex couples live, and the race and ethnicity of people in same-sex couples” will all help policymakers better understand at least the cohabiting part of the LGBTQ community, Queer the Census said in a statement.
This information is also used to disburse funds for programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program , Medicaid and public housing, all of which Maury said “LGBTQ people are disproportionately likely to use.”
