Lambda Literary Awards

The big gay world of publishing...well not really - actually if you went into most of the big chain stores the LGBT section is very small, if it exists at all.  Then there are the independent gay bookstores, which may be hard to find or there is only one 40 minutes away.  Its hard to find good LGBT fiction, and even harder to find it filed under main stream categories, such as mystery fiction, or romance.  Actually this brings to mind the question of why instead of having a separate LGBT section don't they just have a section in the romance isle marked LGBT or in the mystery section? Why does it have to be a separate section all to itself usually stuffed in some corner? Anyway my whole purpose of this post was not to preach but to say that the lambda Literary Award nominees for 2010 have been revealed. You can find a full list of the books in all categories posted on the lambda literary website. Everything from biographies, romance novels, ya books, etc... So few book...
