The U.S. Census Bureau took part in Creating Change

This is news from last month but I missed it the first time around and think it's pretty interesting stuff.

The US Census Bureau sent some representatives to the recent Creating Change conference. The website says:

In support of a complete and accurate count, 2010 Census partnership specialists who work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities attended the 22nd National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change. As in every decade, the census takes a new portrait of America, reflecting both our growth and our increasingly diverse population. Throughout its 220-year history, the census has evolved to accurately reflect our changing society, and the growing number of same-sex couples and marriages is just the latest societal change.
