Census Bureau Has Begun Counting Married Same-Sex Couples as 'Families'
Census Bureau Has Begun Counting Married Same-Sex Couples as 'Families'
As we reported back in May, the Census Bureau has officially amended its definition of “families” to include married, same-sex couples.
The Charlotte Observer reports:
In prior years, the U.S. Census Bureau counted such couples as “unmarried partners,” even if they were legally married. But now, starting with the new annual American Community Survey, they are in among the family totals. […]
Same-sex couples who live together but are not married are still counted as “unmarried partners,” the same designation for unmarried opposite-sex couples. The Census Bureau has counted same-sex couples since 1990.
The Washington Post added back in May:
Because of the large disparity between the number of gay and straight married households, combining the two is not expected to have a significant effect on the statistics that scholars and planners use to analyze how families are changing. Its significance is largely symbolic of the growing acceptance of gays in American society.

Nick Jonas Can’t Stop Talking About Gays, Says He Still Really Loves Us
Nick Jonas Can’t Stop Talking About Gays, Says He Still Really Loves Us
Nick Jonas has essentially turned the publicity tour for his self-titled debut solo album into a tease campaign directed exclusively at gay men that want to sleep with Nick Jonas. Is he trying to release an album here or is he trying to ask us out? The suspense is killing us. It’s brilliant. (We’d say yes.)
The former JoBro launched his new single “Jealous” at two different gay clubs in Manhattan last week, flashing his beautiful abs for the crowds at both and even dancing on stage with some shirtless go-go boys at one.
He continued the week by telling MTV that he “loves [his gay fans] to death,” and later in an interview with HuffPo, he demonstrated some of the poses he may strike during his character’s gay sex scenes in Kingdom.
In his latest interview on Friday, Nick reached even further down our pants by admitting to Logo that the Jonas Brothers never did enough for their gay fans, and that he thinks we’re “incredible” and “fun.”
I grew up doing theater here in New York, surrounded by [the gay community] and loving it and loving all the friends I made at a very young age. When my brothers and I started touring and had some success, naturally they became a pretty big part of our following, and I don’t know that we ever did enough to really own that.
This time around, with my career, and my steps I’m taking, I really want to make an effort to embrace the community with wide open arms, and they’re the best fans in the world.
STOP, Nick! We’re blushing!
They have very good taste, as well, which I think is incredible.
Yes, Nick. But our taste may be acquired. You should try it sometime.

MTV to Air 'Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word' Documentary Highlighting Trans Youth
MTV to Air 'Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word' Documentary Highlighting Trans Youth
Between her role as Sofia in Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black and producing a feature length, independent documentary about Cece McDonald, Laverne Cox has firmly established herself as a modern icon within the transgender community. To date, the bulk of Cox’s work has highlighted the struggles facing adult trans women, but her latest project, Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, focuses on trans youth.
“For many of us, the ‘T’ in LGBT means more than transgender—it also means truth,” Cox said to New Now Next “The cast members in this documentary are fearlessly living their truths and in sharing their stories will send the message to other trans youth that it’s okay to be who you are.”
Earlier this year Cox accepted a Logo Trailblazers award on behalf of Orange Is The New Black and called on the LGB community to stand in solidarity with trans people dealing with discrimination. As a part of MTV’s Look Different campaign, The show will chronicle the lives of seven youths from different backgrounds they explore what it means to be trans-identified in America today. The T-Word will premiere on both MTV and Logo TV on the on Friday, October 17 at 7PM ET, followed by a round table discussion between Cox and the documentary’s seven cast members.
