To prove once again that the Obama administration is always striving to be all things to all people, the U.S. Census Bureau wants the 2010 count to report the number of same-sex married couples currently in the United States.

But there is a stumbling block, of sorts – the software the Census Bureau utilizes would have to be tweaked so as not to declassify these couples into what can be described as unmarried partners.  Personally, I hope they are not able to tweak the software to reflect the change.  And to be honest with you here, I do not think that these same-sex marriages deserve to be recognized in the same breath as normal marriages already are.

I realize that these gay couples have to be counted in the Census’ next count in 2010; however, my bone of contention here is when is it that they deserve the same rights as normal married couples?  I will assume that the Census Bureau wants to get this corrected as soon as humanly possible for the Obama administration as the same-sex couples could very well be considered a minor “voting bloc” for the Administration.  Hence the urgency.
