The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website .

“I don’t want to run away from the only place that truly felt like home because it hasn’t gotten as perfect as I imagined it could be,” says Chasten Buttigieg. The author, speaker, advocate, and husband of U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg , is talking to me about Traverse City, Michigan. Last year, the Buttigieges bought a house in the town known for Sleeping Bear Dunes and cherry farms on Lake Michigan’s northeast corner, adding one more gay couple and a pair of adopted twins to the population of 15,702. In May of this year, Buttigieg released a young adult edition of his 2020 memoir I Have Something to Tell You . With an increase in book bans targeting LGBTQ+ authors and other marginalized communities, particularly those writing stories for queer youth, the age-appropriate adaptation offers a compelling case for unconditional love and the ramifications of when that support comes with strings attached.  Chasten Buttigieg poses with his book, “I Have Somethi...
