Tbh I don't know why LGBQ would be on a census. Trans I guess I get.

Legislators use the census to fund demographic groups. If you have no gay people, no need to fund gay causes, gay programs or anti-discriminatory projects. Basically, you have no proof that they are a class of people worth spending any federal dollars on.

 

The same is happening on multiple Federal surveys. For instance, the withdrawal of another planned survey evaluating the effectiveness of a homelessness project for lesbian, gay, bisexualand transgender youth...the moves have alarmed watchdogs who worry they may point to a manipulation of government data collection to serve the ideology of a government they view as hostile to their causes.

You can indite Islamism, by using the word Islamism, without inciting Islamophobia. Hillary erred too far on the side of political correctness, while Trump erred too far on the side of bigotry.
