Democracy Forward & I filed a lawsuit against the Census Bureau, seeking the release of data from its testing of sexual orientation & gender identity questions for the nation's most important annual demographic survey, key to upholding LGBTQ+ rights (1/4)

We’re suing the Census Bureau to force the release of critical LGBTQ+ data.

Failing to release the data = failing to include LGBTQ+ people from policy decisions impacting health care, housing, employment, education, and more resources.

So we're demanding accountability.
