The House last week advanced a bill that would for the first time require federal health officials to ask patients about their sexual orientation and gender identity.
The proposal introduced by Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the first openly gay woman elected to Congress, cleared a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on a party-line vote Thursday. Republican attempts to block or restrict the measure failed.
Though critics say the move represents an invasion of privacy, the legislation was cast as a way to help federal officials gather data so they can track "health disparities" based on those sexual identity factors.
"This bill is about collecting data. No more, no less," Baldwin said at the hearing last week. She said federal programs generally do not collect this data, and that "as a result we are left with gaping holes in our knowledge on LGBT health."

It's about
This lesbian wants to promote homosexuality as a healthy lifestyle to children. How do these perverts get elected? Beyond sickening.
Wait... the Feds will be required to ask about a person’s sexual sports but be prohibited from asking if they are in the country legally?
ayup
How would one go about “proving” sexual orientation or gender identity? shhould people just pick the most “disadvantaged” status in order to obtain the best treatment?
Better yet, just defeat this nonsense, and the people proposing it. If you have to twell people your status in this area, then they can’t discriminate all on their won, can they?
I will check again whether this article is just a spoof. but i fear it is not.
We should all say “bestiality” — screw up their data so bad they are useless.
And only record the ‘straight’ ones cause any protected orientation is illegal to record.
So database will only have the Christians and Bible fearing citizens listed.
Coming to a re-education, re-thinking camp near you.
My answer to sexual orientation would be “Normal”.
“gaping holes in our knowledge on LGBT health.”
In other words, we don’t have anything to bitch about, but we will when we get this data.
They can ask my wife and I all they want.
The reply will be - rather rude.
I already looked up H.R. 6109. It’s real.
This is being done so the Fed can create phony statistcal foundations to rationalize special rights and pork payoffs for gays.
That is appropriate for that group!
If you check "yah, I'm a homo" you just might get more money from the government!
This program will quietly end when the numbers those who identify as Gay put the lie to One in Ten.
“My answer to sexual orientation would be Normal.”
That’s great! That’ll have the libs steaming.
What should anyone expect anything else from the Pervert Party?
My answer would be "normal".
