STONEWALL BOOK AWARD

Sponsored by the American Library Association's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table, The 'Stonewall Book Awards' are the first and most enduring awards for GLBT books. The awards are presented annually to English language works of fiction ('Barbara Gittings Literature Award') and non-fiction ('Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award'). They are announced in January to the winning authors or editors, who are given a plaque and cash stipend.
First awarded in 1971 as the 'Gay Book Award', over the years the name of the award has changed:

★ 1971-1986 Gay Book Award

★ 1987-1989 Gay and Lesbian Book Award

★ 1994-1998 Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Book Award

★ 1999-2001 Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Book Award

★ 2002-Now Since 2002, the award has been made under its current name, which derives from the 1969 Stonewall riots
