Wording notes: collapses gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender into a single stimulus; no transgender-only reading is recoverable | part of a battery of hypothetical VP traits (the preceding item asked about a female vice president)
unclear — the item is symmetric and standard, but bundling four distinct identities into one stimulus makes the transgender component unmeasurable
