Strode\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe United States of America is a complex nation. At various times in its nearly 250-year history, the country's citizens have endured racism, poverty, and gun violence. They've been split apart and brought together by politics, news media, and ideas about what constitutes a basic human right. In this nonfiction series, early high schoolers will learn the history behind many social studies hot topics, including immigration, voting rights, and LGBTQ+ discrimination; how and why we continue to struggle today; and what's being done to improve those challenging aspects of living in America. Each title includes real-life profiles of people who are living the featured topic, factual sidebars, a glossary, and an index. \u003cbr\u003e America's relationship with the LGBTQ+ community throughout history has been complicated, showing great love and great hate to people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and more. This nonfiction social studies title for young adults examines discrimination and homophobia in the United States, the impact of the Women's Rights Movement on the lesbian community, equality laws and same-sex marriage bans, key events such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS crisis, and the parades, flags, and other symbols of Pride. Includes sidebars, a glossary, a timeline, and profiles of author James Baldwin and U.S. lawmaker Zooey Zephyr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.6 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Living as LGBTQ+\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Middle Grades, 6 and up\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42415270002823,"sku":"9781682774595","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/47441876b9a38d7df646b249cedde392.webp?v=1741593887","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/living-as-lgbtq-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
