"come out, come out, wherever you are"
Census forms are in the mail. Be sure to complete these and return them no later than April 10, 2010. For married or partnered members, please remember to check the "married" or "unmarried" box in relation to Person 1 and Person 2. This information will only be collected by the U.S. Census for statistical purposes only. Please make your family, and your relationships, count in the 2010 Census.
Every 10 years, under our Constitution, the U.S. Census Bureau attempts to conduct an accurate count of all Americans and households, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans and our families.
As part of this year's Census, Frisco Pride has launched our "come out, come out, wherever you are" project to educate and motivate all LGBT Americans and households to be visible in 2010, and to take part in the 2010 U.S. Census.
Census statistics guide many vital government decisions. Federal and state governments use census numbers to form congressional district boundaries and to distribute billions of dollars for social services. Non-profit organizations use census statistics to plan services for individuals and their families, influencing the locations for schools, roads and hospitals, for example.
Frisco Pride is proud to be associated with Our Families Count and the U.S. Census Bureau on this project.
