Respond to this video... you also realize that this years census is one of the shortest in history right? it has less questions on it than the one used in 1790, the first year it was done.

@freesk8 the Constitution states the Census will be fitted with the questions that pertain the timeframe and decade. read the damned thing and then come back with your facts.Am I the only person that is getting sick and tired of all the history rewriting the Far flung right is trying to do? try reading for once..

@freesk8 Ok . once more, you are required by LAW to answer the questions laid out in the Census. Including race, gender and home ownership, just because you want to rewrite history doesn't make your statements fact. The constitution mandates (yes THE constitution) that every US citizen take part and answer these questions. in fact, it has been going on for 200 years......if you are so concerned about your privacy, then stay off of the internet.

@Newguyde Thank you. That's the sort of thing they should have gone over, perhaps tagged onto the end of the video ...

god I love you, George Takei, and Brad, you're fun too, but mostly I love George Takei.

@itisirio Issues facing the LGBT community may or may not be brought up simply on the grounds that "There aren't enough to warrant changing the law" or something like that. For example it may lead to new laws requiring companies that require information about marital status to reword their 'spouse' section to allow for same-sex couples and their gender section to allow for trans. If companies don't feel that the community is big enough to warrant such a change they wont bother changing it.

video description: "George Takei and his husband, Brad Altman, tell us why it is so important for same-sex couples to correctly fill out the 2010 Census form." They did no such thing. I heard WHAT and HOW, but no "WHY it is SO important" (which is the part I'm actually curious about).
