The 2012 Triangle Awards
April 22, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I covered the 2012 Triangle Awards for Lambda Literary Review.
In the spring of 2010, my first assignment as an intern for the site was a recap of that year’s ceremony, so it was a thrill to come full-circle (only with fewer nerves and better writing). Frances Goldin is truly an inspiring individual, and I have such a fan-crush on Alison Bechdel–I can’t wait until Are You My Mother? comes out. It really was a wonderful evening; thanks to the Publishing Triangle for their perennial hard work!
(Band of Thebes also wrote about the event, and captured a terrific photo of Goldin with her legendary “I Adore my Lesbian Daughters” sign.)
