The wording was originally phrased in Dutch as: "Denk je eens in dat je een dochter of een zoon hebt die samenwoont met een vaste partner van hetzelfde geslacht; kun je aangeven hoe aanvaardbaar je dat vindt?" (Translation: "Imagine having a daughter or a son who permamently lives with a same-sex partner; can you indicate how acceptable you think that is?")
