Lambda Literary Awards (also known as the "Lammys") are awarded yearly by the United States–based Lambda Literary Foundation to published works that celebrate or explore LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) themes. The awards are presented annually for books published in the previous year. The Lambda Literary Foundation states that its mission is "to celebrate LGBT literature and provide resources for writers, readers, booksellers, publishers, and librarians—the whole literary community."[1]

Since their inception in 1989, awards have been given in various categories in fiction and non-fiction.[2] The title for this category has changed several times, most recently to "LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction".
