The first and most enduring award for GLBT books is the Stonewall Book Awards, sponsored by the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table. Since Isabel Miller's Patience and Sarah received the first award in 1971, many other books have been honored for exceptional merit relating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender experience.
