About this book
Sexual orientation (a person¿s sexual feelings) and sexual identity (a person¿s sexual self-concept) are closely related and, together, form critical parts of each human¿s psychological makeup. Scientists know a great deal about their biological and environmental origins, psychosocial development process, and the unique challenges inherent to non-heterosexual identities, but there is still much debate and much to be learned in this fascinating field of study.
Censorship history
In 2024, "Understanding Sexual Identity and Orientation" by Kris Hirschmann faced bans at various school levels across the United States, primarily due to its LGBTQ+ content and discussions of sexual identity. Notably, in several school districts, including those in Texas and Florida, parents and advocacy groups raised formal complaints during school board meetings, leading to votes that upheld the bans. These actions were part of a broader trend of increased scrutiny and censorship of educational materials related to sexual orientation and identity in the wake of legislative changes targeting LGBTQ+ discussions in schools.
