Sex Orientation of Respondent Data from GSS18

Question
I have a student looking for data of the Sexual Orientation of Respondent from GSS18. She is specifically looking for the data of question ?SOR_Q110 in Section 14 of the questionnaire. I checked the
codebook and there are three questions in the Sexual Orientation of Respondent Module, but somehow I can't find the any correspondent variables from the Data Dictionary. Are these questions used to derive
any variables? Or have they been suppressed somehow?

Answer
This variable has been suppressed from the PUMF because of confidentiality reasons as well as data quality reasons. This survey was one of the first ones to ask about sexual orientation and this resulted in low response rate for this question.
