OK Gordon, I'll bite. How does the census bureau list same sex partners?
Children living with same sex partners?

The census bureau used the acronyn "POSSLQ" in the 1980s. For more on the
subject see:

More and more I'm running into "informal" relationships between my relatives
and others. Some have had a child or children together, some not (at least
not yet). At this level I do not distinguish between same sex and dissimilar
sex couples.

Some possible tags(TMG)/relationship descriptions I have considered are:

co-habitant
live-in boy/girl friend
partner
life partner

Suggestions, comments?
