A number of different classification schemes have been used to describe sexual orientation since the mid-19th century, and scholars have often defined the term 'sexual orientation' in divergent ways. A YA LGBT novel that really stood out to me recently was Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown.

Other characters are subsequently forced to bear the brunt of this mistreatment. Throughout the novel, characters often use bigotry-relying on prejudices and stereotypes-to justify their own shortcomings and frustrations.
