S Bear Bergman and Kate Bornstein received the award for best LGBT Anthology for Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation (Seal Press).This year has been literary windfall for Bergman and Bornstein. In April they were awarded a special prize for LGBT non-fiction for Gender Outlaws at the Publishing Triangle Awards held in New York City.

The judges applauded the anthology, saying that it "celebrates gender-nonconforming people in all their beauty, humanity and complexity. The contributors to this book confront gender issues with such vibrant, mind-expanding style that readers are urged to question the status quo of seeing gender in binary ways."
