The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced the nominees for their annual awards on Sunday, and the Weekly's Lauren Smiley was among those nominated. Her story, "Girl/Boy Interrupted," is in the running in the "newspaper article" category, alongside two pieces from the New York Times, one from the L.A. Times and another from the St. Petersburg Times. The Weekly notes that the story was the first long-form story Smiley wrote as a Village Voice Media fellow. Winners will be announced in March.
