 Why The 2010 Census Matters To LGBT Americans
An Interview with Dr. Gary Gates, Williams
Institute, and Che Ruddell-Tabisola, U.S. Census and Our Families Count
Why did you launch Our Families Count as an education effort for the
2010 Census? Was there a similar coalition organized for the 1990 or
2000 Census?
Che Ruddell-Tabisola: In the past few years, many

the 2010 Census. We saw its overriding value to LGBT visibility and
inclusion.
Remember that the population data captured by the Census provides

federal laws and federal spending decisions are frequently based on
these counts. All Americans benefit by being counted, including us. Read on...
