    Good idea, or bad idea? Or someplace in between?

    I suppose it makes sense, considering all the other data they collect. I wonder if some might be against it, fearing the number might come out low and/or be under counted.

    Buzzfeed needs an editor. The census has always counted gay people.

    They were omitted in the past?

    Marketing folks who live and breath demographic info would be in heaven. As is, I wish the Census Bureau would find a way to bring in money from all the private enterprises that mine all that data the government hands them for free. If they can auction off wireless spectrum, there ought to be a way to work this.
