Census 2000

This year's 2000 US Census documents contain a new category: UNMARRIED PARTNER. This is now how the census is recognizing GLBT households. For Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered persons who are in a live-in relationship, or for those who have friends who are; we can now mark the category UNMARRIED PARTNER when filling out the US Census. Please be sure to spread the word. The category has not received much press, so please pass this on.
