I'm a big fan of supporting LGBT writers. In that spirit, I thought I'd share the winners of this year's winners of the Publishing Triangle Awards.

The purpose of the Publishing Triangle is to further the publication of books and other materials written by lesbian and gay authors or with lesbian and gay themes. They also sponsor lots of programs to increase awareness of and appreciation for lesbian and gay literature. So be sure to check out some of these great books!

The nominees and winners are after the jump...
