Census will report same-sex couples, gay groups see opportunity

(CNN) -- Peter Dziedzic and his husband, Jay Judas, aren't quite sure yet which of them will be designated the head of household when they fill out the 2010 census form in April.

Both are employed and make about the same amount of money, Dziedzic, 32, of Boston, Massachusetts, explained recently.

"We'll just pick ... maybe I'll give it to him, he's older," Dziedzic, who legally married Judas, 38, last year, joked.

Regardless of who fills out the census form, the Census Bureau will report their response as a married same-sex couple without changing it.

Not in OHIO they won't. Ohio does not recognize same sex marriages or relationships. It is in our Constitution. Since there is no federal law, it is left up to the states (Tenth Amendment). I am sensing some major lawsuits on this.
