Senate Bill to Require Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity Data By 2030 Census
A group of Democratic senators have introduced a bill that would require the U.S. Census and the country’s largest survey to start directly asking about sexual orientation and gender identity. If the Census Equality Act becomes law, sexual orientation and gender identity questions would have to be added to forms for the census by 2030 and for the American Community Survey ? a survey that about 1 in 38 households are required by federal law to complete every year ? by 2020.
