A coalition of at least eight LGBTIQ+ community groups has called for Australia's Census to include questions on gender and sexuality.

Drag queen Courtney Act, whose real name is Shane Jenek, is also supporting the call, saying the change is long overdue to see LGBTIQ+ Australians counted in the Australian Census.

Personally, I was quite surprised such an option was not put down for people to select in the Census, but I am wondering what others think.

After the ridiculous sight of blokes pretending to be girls at the Olympic games, it would be a good idea if these people pulled their heads in for a while.

Has been,
Nail head hitter!!

The census is a gross trampling on our privacy and personal life.
There should not be more questions - there should be 0 questions!

Dear Nathan,

The Census is meant to include ALL Australians
therefore LGBTIQ Australians should be counted.
Definitely.

Who decided they shouldn't be?

Dear Yuyutsu,

This is a tool for wealth distribution which enables our society to function in the way it does. I'm fully supportive of the Census and we are luck to live in a place which employs one.

Dear NathanJ,

Pretty simple ask one would have thought.
