Yes you count! share your love with the Census
Have you filled out your Census form? If you’re living with an unmarried partner, be sure to check off the “unmarried partner” box. The more the country continues to see increases in cohabitation, and large numbers of same-sex and different-sex couples living together, the easier it is to argue that our relationships and families need recognition.
The “unmarried partner” box is the 12th out of 14 categories, so it might be missed. Spread the word to your family and friends who have unmarried partners — check the unmarried partner box on the census!
We’re extra happy that the Census is not using the ridiculous “not related” category, that you can see starting on page 2 of the 2000 Census form. Thanks to Marshall for pointing that out!

Seeing your image, I realize I’m wrong — it’s the 13th out of 14 categories!
