WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is launching the next phase of its "Queer the Census" campaign, which is designed to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are included in a broad swath of federal surveys and data collection efforts. The Task Force is encouraging people to learn more about why federal surveys are important and to get involved through an action center on its www.QueertheCensus.org (http://www.queerthecensus.org) website.
