SACRAMENTO, Calif. March 26, 2010 - Yesterday, Senator Kehoe (D-San Diego) introduced a joint resolution sponsored by Equality California, urging the federal government to include questions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in the 2020 Census questionnaire. The resolution, SJR 28, calls on the US Congress and the President to revise the Census survey and to collect data identifying LGBT people living in the US.

"All segments of our nation's diverse population need to be counted by the US Census," said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California. "By ensuring that the LGBT community is counted, our state and federal government will have the necessary information to address the needs of our community."
