Just heard on TV that sexual orientation and
gender identity have been added to hate crime legiislation
Obama ihas said he will sign;
AND
orientation and identity will be added to the 2020 census!
(too late for 2010 census they said)...
Slowly but surely....we get treated more like human beings.

Fri, November 13, 2009 - 7:38 PMGood news indeed. The meaningful changes, for the most part, are the little ones that happen in small increments. It's the big headline news that causes a backlash and makes the pendulum swing backward again. This should slip in under the radar.
But it makes me wonder, what will our census options be? I hope we get more choices than just "straight" and "gay." And how will they approach identity? Will we have to choose from limited categories again?
I hope they give us a write-in option! I won't mind so much having to describe myself in a single word if I get to choose the word =)

Sat, November 14, 2009 - 3:23 PMI hope the census will include the word "androgyne" ...it would be a great way to introduce the concept among the population and make a lot of people recognize their essence !!
