"As planned, the 2024 American Community Survey SOGI [sexual orientation and gender identity data] test is underway. The test began earlier this month [August] and will continue through late 2024. The Census Bureau will publish the results of the test roughly 18 months later," a spokesperson for the federal agency said.
"I am heartened to hear that testing of both gender identity and sexual orientation are underway in the American Community Survey. This is a watershed moment for both the Census Bureau and the entire US federal statistical system. I eagerly await the findings and ultimate implications for improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people," stated Nancy Bates, a lesbian and former Census Bureau official.
