No, Trump Didn't 'Erase' LGBTQ People From the US Census
Townhall ^ | March 29, 2017 | Guy Benson

If you were to read some of the more hysterical headlines being churned out by certain elements of the gay press -- which are, in turn, being shared far and wide by and among the Left's outrage industry -- you might be forgiven for concluding that President Trump has just ordered an act of statistical genocide against the LGBTQ community. "We've been erased!" blares the title of a post on the National LGBTQ Task Force's website, while other outlets have prominently featured Trump in their ledes.

The Census has never included these questions before, and experts on the process warn that the details of inserting new categories and topics into the official survey can take years to iron out and implement.

I have seen no evidence that Trump is in anyway homophobic or that he plans to change current laws on homosexual marriage.

And yet these people hate and fear him. It makes no sense.
They have a mental illness.

It’s more than a little invasive to ask people what their sexual preferences are. By the way, all those questionaires become public documents after so many years.

Considering their lifestyle has damned them, I suppose getting forgotten is just minor.

The only question that should be on the census: Are you an American citizen? Yes or no. None of this hyphenated American crap.

Are you LGBTQ? OK, then...

Do you consume alchohol?
Are you a gun owner?
Are you a recreational drug user?
Have you had an abortion?
Are you Christian?
Are you an illegal immigrant?

Questions, questions, questions!

Even though homosexuals comprise at most 4 percent of the U.S. population, still 14,000,000 GIBLETS is a lot of people to “erase”.

Can the census forms.

Just count how people live at each address. Period.

Damn. I wanted Trump to remove these faggot questions. And i dont have a problem with Trump if he was “homophobic”. No wonder the fag lover contingent of FR were giddy like a bunch of trannies on Gay day.

The census is a population count...not a lifestyle survey!

They have a mental illness.

We are all suppose to play along and act like there is no difference between hetro and homo.
In other words share in their mental illness.
Or risk being sued into the poor farm.

The US census doesn't ask about religion, because of First Amendment separation of church and state concerns.

If the government has an accurate count of minority groups it makes it easier to round them up, so it's probably not something gays should lobby for.

The only race question that is now legit is whether you are an “Indian, not taxed” and after filling out my 1040 I am trying to figure out how I can self-identity as such.

Sodomites, 30 years ago: “I CAN DO WHAT I WANT! THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF IT! RIGHT TO PRIVACY!!”

Sodomites, 20 years ago: *dances naked in the streets in buggery parades*

Sodomites, 10 years ago: “WE WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE US AS MARRIED COUPLES!!”

Sodomites today: “OMG WE NEED TO HAVE OUR PERVERSITY ON EVERY GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT!! STOP ERASING US TRUMP!”

The census is only supposed to count how many people live in a house. It’s not about how many one night stands you have at the bar every week.

Bingo. The only homophobes are those repressed from criticizing them, and it starts with homosexuals themselves who are incapable of self criticism or questioning their own practices except for a few.
