Family News In Focus engaged in some concerned trolling today when they warned gay couples that they could be risking a fine of up to $500 for lying about their marital status on their census form.

You see, the Census Bureau has told gay couples that they can check the “married” box if they consider themselves married, even in states that do not allow same-sex marriage. This would seem to be a sensible move (for those without an axe to grind) since it provides the government (and posterity) with a more accurate picture of gay households around the country, but I guess Family News In Focus is just worried that gay people could be misled into placing themselves into legal jeopardy.

Yeah, that must be it.
