Gaylactic Spectrum Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards are given to works of science fiction, fantasy and horror which explore gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender topics in a positive way. They were founded in 1998, first presented by the Gaylactic Network in 1999, and in 2002 they were given their own organization, the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards Foundation.
Awards are generally announced and presented at Gaylaxicon.
