They create Figure 6.2, where FEFAM corresponds to the survey question, “Please tell me whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with [the following] … It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.” SEXORNT is a variable corresponding to the survey question “Which of the following best describes you? Gay, lesbian or homosexual, bisexual, straight or heterosexual?” Note that SEXORNT was originally coded as 1 for those identifying as Gay, lesbian, or homosexual; 2 for those identifying as bisexual; and 3 for those identifying as heterosexual or straight, but has been recoded in 6.2.
