Sexual-morality trio
Three 4-pt sexual-morality items (HOMOSEX + XMARSEX + PREMARSX) on the same GSS 2024 wave. The within-battery gradient is the second largest in the catalogue (Δ ≈ 2.34) — Americans are overwhelmingly tolerant of premarital sex but overwhelmingly intolerant of extramarital sex, with same-sex relations reading as a sharply bimodal distribution that an SD/skew chip surfaces.
