Why do we need to include LGBTIQA+ in the Australian census?

If you're looking for a way to promote inclusivity and equality, here's something you should know: including questions about sexual orientation and gender identity in a country's census is essential.

With accurate and comprehensive data, policymakers can identify disparities and inequalities, and work towards creating a more equitable society.

By promoting visibility and recognition, the inclusion of LGTBIQA+ people in the census can also challenge stigma and foster a more accepting society. This can have a positive impact on mental health and well-being, while supporting the efforts of advocacy groups and activists.

So, if you're passionate about creating a more inclusive and accepting society, advocating for the inclusion of questions about sexual orientation and gender identity in the census is an important step to take. Let's work together to create a more equitable and accepting world for everyone.
