26th Annual Lambda Literary Award Winners!
Sadly, I was not able to be in New York last night for the Lambda Literary Awards, nor was I able to live tweet about the event because I had to go to a town meeting for the little hamlet where I live and plan my new front lawn with topiaries of Valerie Solanas, Angela Davis, and Joann Little. I’ve been writing and talking about the Lambda Literary Awards, though, with my friend and publishing buddy, Lawrence Schimel. We both watched from a far this year. While I missed the award ceremony, I don’t want to miss my annual post of the winners. I was especially excited to see Rigoberto Gonzalez win this year as well as Jim Ellege, David Groff, and Christina Hanhardt. Just a few of the great books of 2013. Join me in congratulating the winners of the Lammys–and, more importantly, go out and buy their books! LGBT literary culture depends on your support!
