    • Abstract:
      The author discusses how a group of experts from 21 U.S. government agencies is working on a project that is designed to determine the size of America's LGBT population, and it mentions an American government spokesperson's claim that the project is aimed at identifying changes in household composition and family structure in the country. The legal, economic, and medical reasons for conducting LGBT population research are examined, along with power, dignity, and transgender people in the U.S.
