Big congratulations to Lavender columnist Zaylore Stout and his seminal book Our Gay History in 50 States for taking home the Gold Medal from the 31st Annual Midwest Book Awards’ Non-Fiction – Arts/Photography/Coffee Table Books and the Silver in Total Book Design categories!

50 States tells the essential histories—the struggles and successes, contributions and personal stories—from our nation’s beloved LGBTQIA+ community. This is not just a history worth knowing; it’s essential reading.

The goal of 50 States is “make this book accessible in public schools, libraries, and other learning centers across the county.” Let’s help spread the good word!
