AMERICAN 2020 CENSUS

LGBTQ Americans Won’t Be Counted in 2020 U.S. Census After All
by MARY EMILY O’HARA

LGBTQ advocacy groups are outraged after proposed questions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity were quickly removed Tuesday, March 28, from a just-released draft of the 2020 U.S. Census.

The U.S. Census Bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce, is required to issue a list of categories it plans to track three years before the survey is conducted.

Advocacy groups have been campaigning for years to include questions about sexual orientation and gender identity, and were briefly elated when the 2020 Census draft was released. But hopes were dashed when the proposed addition suddenly disappeared, and a statement was issued by the Census bureau that called the LGBTQ inclusion a mistake.

IOTD …. Image of the day, #480 …. “SeaWorld …. No more breeding, no more shows …. “!!

NO MORE SHAMU, NO MORE BREEDING

I hope that they keep their word.

I hope there’s nothing sinister behind this decision. I hope that this is for real.

SeaWorld has made headlines several times in the past decade: trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a captive orca during a live show in 2010, and a 2013 documentary focused intense scrutiny on the family-oriented theme park over the use of killer whales as show animals.

On Thursday, March 17,SeaWorld announced that it would no longer breed or keep orcas.

The popular theme park SeaWorld has been under ever-growing criticism for the way it breeds and shows its popular orca whales.

Now SeaWorld is bowing to pressure and making a big change.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
