The program has grown from 14 awards in early years to 24 awards today. Early categories such as HIV/AIDS literature were dropped as the prominence of the AIDS crisis within the gay community waned,[1] and categories for bisexual and transgender 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.
