I also thought it resulted in a lot of options, but I wasn’t sure if there was a particular reason the diversity working group wanted more granular data.

I’ll reword the question a bit.

For the sexuality and religion questions, I would personally feel more comfortable asking something along the lines of "do you feel that your sexual orientation or religious beliefs have adversely impacted your ability to participate in our community?” and/or “how have you seen other communities / organizations successfully create an inclusive environment?” I think the current questions risk being intrusive or viewed as irrelevant, and may not result in actionable data. Using the opportunity to gather some real feedback about any barriers in the community, as well as actionable recommendations seems like a more desirable outcome for the working group.
