Queer the census

My "Queer the Census" sticker finally arrived in the mail today, but I had given up waiting for it and had sent in my form so I wouldn't be bugged by door-to-door census workers. What is "Queer the Census" all about? This article explains it well. I think it's awesome that the Census Bureau encourages same-sex couples to indicate they're married, if they wish. It's nice to know at least one small sector of our federal government is fair-minded and progressive.
