The program has grown from 14 awards in early years to 24 awards today. Early categories such asHIV/AIDS literature were dropped as the prominence of the AIDS crisis within the gay community waned,[1] and categories forbisexual andtransgender literature were added as the community became more inclusive.[1]

In addition to the primary literary awards, Lambda Literary also presents a number of special awards.

Notes

edit

1 In both the bisexual and transgender categories, presentation may vary according to the number of eligible titles submitted in any given year. If the number of titles warrants, then separate awards are presented in either two (Fiction and Nonfiction, with the Fiction category inclusive of poetry titles) or three (Fiction, Nonfiction and Poetry) categories, while if a smaller number of titles is deemed eligible, then a merged Literature shortlist is put forward. However, even when the category shortlists have been merged, judges still retain the right to identify a single winner in the unlisted category; for example, at the25th Lambda Literary Awards in 2013 the judges named both fiction and non-fiction winners in the Bisexual Literature category, and at the29th Lambda Literary Awards in 2017 the judges picked a title from the Bisexual Fiction shortlist as the winner in Bisexual Poetry despite the lack of an advance poetry shortlist.

Controversies

edit

Bisexual community andBi Any Other Name

edit

In 1992, despite requests from thebisexual community for a more appropriate and inclusive category, the groundbreaking bisexual anthologyBi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out[2] byLoraine Hutchins andLani Kaʻahumanu was forced to compete, and lost, in the category "Lesbian Anthology".[3] Additionally, in 2005,Directed by Desire: Collected Poems,[4] a posthumous collection of thebisexualJamaican-American writerJune Jordan's work, competed (and won) in the category "Lesbian Poetry".[5]

Led byBiNet USA,[6] and assisted by other bisexual organizations including theAmerican Institute of Bisexuality,BiPOL, andBialogue, the bisexual community launched a multi-year struggle that eventually culminated in 2006 with the addition of a Bisexual category.[7]

Transgender community andThe Man Who Would Be Queen

edit

In 2004, the bookThe Man Who Would Be Queen: The Science of Gender-Bending and Transsexualism by the highly controversial researcherJ. Michael Bailey was announced as a finalist in the Transgender category of the 2003 Awards.

Transgender people immediately protested the nomination and gathered thousands of petition signatures in opposition within a few days. After the petition, the Foundation's judges examined the book more closely, decided that they considered ittransphobic and removed it from their list of finalists.[8] Within a year the executive director who had initially approved of the book's inclusion resigned.[9] Executive director Charles Flowers later stated that "the Bailey incident revealed flaws in our awards nomination process, which I have completely overhauled since becoming the foundation’s executive director in January 2006."[10]
