According to the Census Bureau, the problem with the Census data on same-sex couples was due to data capture errors that were caused by the confusing layout on the 2010 Census forms--the matrix format--where entering a persons sex often did not accurately reflect that persons gender.
So, uh... what are you trying to say?
If two men who are friends happen to also be roommates, are they recorded in cencus data as "unmarried partners"?

Not surprising at all.
‘Truth’ means nothing to a Leftists, e.g., Global Warming.
In fact, truth is the enemy of the Left. They hate it. It gets in their way.

Well, I don’t approve of same-sex sex or combinations BUT what the heck business is it of the Federal Government’s to intrude into the private lives of citizens???
I thought that was what they were complaining about conservatives wanting to do? And here Obama does the very same thing on a massive scale.
The ONLY thing we should give the Census is our presence and a few other non-intrusive pieces of information.
If the Feds want anything else - RUN A POLL like everybody else does. If we don’t want to answer, we can just HANG UP!

"where entering a persons sex often did not accurately reflect that persons gender" Huh?
I've never had to fill out a box for gender. However the boxes were laid out, this seems a rather strange conclusion to come to.

"...entering a person's sex often did not accurately reflect that person's gender?" Gee. I would say that "SEX" = "GENDER" 100% of the time.
In what damned reality is THAT dumb ass statement THEY made true, that sex and gender are not inextricably linked? Are they just bending definitions to mean whatever they want?
Are they doing some kind of liberal crap like "Gender means whoever assumes the 'masculine' or 'feminine' role"?
This makes my blood boil, and should make all of us who look darkly on a politicized (HIGHLY POLITICIZED) Census Bureau realize exactly what a department like that can cause.

These are the same people who want to take over and run 1/6 of the American economy and decide when and what treatment you will get for diseases. Yet, they can not even take a simple head count without screwing it up.

The sodomites need to return to the closet, or better yet, the mental institution. The males especially are the biggest threat in the country to young boys and the public health.

Anything other than revising these “same-sex households” down to ZERO is blatant fraud. There is no such thing.

Inflating same-sex couples is bad. I thought everybody knew it was unhealthy to insert an air hose up there.
