The Census Bureau said Tuesday it wants to explicitly ask Americans about their sexual orientation and “gender identity” in the 2020 census, marking the first time it would probe for that information.
The bureau made the announcement as part of its proposed topics it submitted to Congress, teasing the issue in a single line inside an appendix.
A spokeswoman said she couldn’t say why the bureau wanted to prod Americans on that question.
It is the only new subject area the census has asked to include, and would join longstanding questions ranging from age, marital status and occupation.
The census currently gives a snapshot of same-sex households, which has been used as an approximation of gay couples.

REG: But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.
REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the fetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!”
