Verification note. Wording and toplines taken from Ballotpedia's reproduction of the Suffolk/Boston Globe May 2016 item on Senate Bill 2407 (the bill that became the 2016 gender-identity public accommodations law later put to referendum as Question 3). Suffolk's own marginals PDF for this fielding was not retrieved; release date is approximate.

Questions asked (1)
support for the pending Massachusetts gender-identity public accommodations bill (SB 2407)
Currently, there are public accommodations bills before the Massachusetts legislature that protect the civil rights of transgender people, including their right to use the restroom that conforms to their gender identity. Do you support or oppose passage of such a bill?
Wording notes: explicitly frames the bill as a civil-rights protection | explicitly names restroom access
unclear — the 'protect the civil rights of transgender people' framing is sympathetic, while the explicit restroom clause cuts the other way; net effect is ambiguous
