On Friday, the third annual Pride Lives Stonewall Day was celebrated virtually. Several celebrities and politicians, including Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Former President Barack Obama and Former Vice President Joe Biden, made appearances during the livestream event to show their support for the LGBT community.
Stonewall Day has been observed each year on June 28 to remember the police raid that took place in a New York City gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, on that same day in 1969.
According to History.com, engaging in gay behavior in public (holding hands, kissing or dancing with someone of the same sex) was still illegal in the 60s, which is what ultimately caused the Stonewall raid in Greenwich Village that resulted in six days of riots and protests. The riot has since become a historic timestamp for the gay rights movement.
Swift used this years event as an opportunity to express her excitement about how far the gay rights movement has come since 1969. However, she also used that time to call out the Census Bureau for having only male and female genders listed on the 2020 Census.
Poster Comment:
If we could find 53 genders as that idiot SJW did in the UK, Americans could not figure out their gender on that form. Could you imagine some census worker translating that into Chinese or Hindi?

LOL. Hard enough to translate to English.
If Swift was smart (and well, she is a little richer than me so I guess she is) she'd object to gender being asked at all. Hell, the only real question maybe should be is "how many US citizens live here".

In the old days the Sikhs would beat on Chinese peasants with bamboo sticks to keep them moving. LOL

I would just check them all. I am the Swiss Army Knife of genders.
