However, due to society's binary view of sexuality, this research has overlooked non-traditional sexual minorities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo address this omission, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Perverts\u003c\/i\u003e delves into the political attitudes and activities of individuals who identify with non-traditional sexual orientations and practices, such as Polyamory, BDSM, the Furry Fandom, Nudism, and the large bisexual population within these communities. These groups face similar discrimination, stigma, and lack of legal protections in various aspects of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors shed light on the political identities, affiliations, and attitudes of these communities in the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States, revealing how sexuality and politics are even more deeply intertwined at the margins of society. Despite facing challenges, these communities actively engage in political discussions and activities in hopes of fostering greater inclusivity, better representation, and more informed policies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Anthony Smith (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCharles Anthony Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Political Science and Law at the University of California, Irvine.
