A team of researchers is interested to know whether sexual minorities (including, lesbian, gay, homosexual, and bisexual people) tend to view gendered family arrangements differently than heterosexual people. 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.

-Which of the following statements is correct, according to the analysis shown in Figure 6.2?
A) The number of sexual minority respondents represented in Figure 6.2 is approximately equal to the number of heterosexual respondents represented in the Figure.
B) In general, there seems to be no relationship between respondents' sexual identity and their views about gender, work and family arrangements.
C) Sexual minority respondents were more likely than heterosexual respondents to strongly disagree with the idea that "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."
D) Sexual minority respondents were more likely than heterosexual respondents to agree with the idea that "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."
