Sexual orientation survey successful
More than 900 New Zealanders have shared their views about how sexual orientation should be measured.
2 May 2018
Stats NZ spokesperson Dean Rutherford says that's more people than the organisation has seen in any other recent public consultation.
The feedback from the three-week public consultation will guide development of a new statistical standard to report in a consistent way on how people identify their sexuality, through terms including lesbian, gay, heterosexual, bisexual, pansexual, and asexual.
The final statistical standard for sexual identity will be released later this year.
