Logo of the Gaylactic Network

The Gaylactic Network is a North American LGBT science fiction fandom organization. It has several affiliate chapters across the United States and Canada, with a membership of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people and friends, sharing an interest in science fiction, fantasy, horror, comics and role-playing games.[1][2][3]

The Gaylactic Network oversees Gaylaxicon, an irregularly-held science fiction convention in various states. It also originated the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards, given annually for outstanding LGBT content in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genre publications.

The Network is registered as a nonprofit organisation.[4] Organizational records for the period 1986-2005 (bulk 1987-1991) are held by Brown University,[5] and other universities mention it as a course resource [6]
