Please Take Action: Tell the Census Bureau that Gay Families Count!

For the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau says it will edit forms submitted by legally married same-sex couples to change their status to "unmarried partners."

In so doing, the Bureau essentially will -- in the words of one couple highlighted in the Washington Post's coverage of this policy -- "Photoshop them out of the picture."Last week, we launched a petition urging the Census Bureau to put its mission of collecting and reporting accurate data above the right-wing, anti-gay politics of the Bush administration.

Please join the 11,000 activists who have already signed the petition here: http://www.pfaw.org/go/
