Missing NA labels in panel data

Hi! Thanks so much for your work on this, it has saved me an insane amount of time.

I have a research question where I am looking at Don't Know responses as the dependent variable. In the panel datasets these, DK are just labeled as NAs along with true missing data and Other.

Is there a way to get the DK values?

data("gss_panel06_long")
val_labels(gss_panel06_long$homosex)
