Between 1994 and 2000, the award was given for gay biography/autobiography.[2] From 2002–2006 there was no gay biography/autobiography category (and also no lesbian biography/autobiography category) but rather separate categories for biography and for autobiography/memoir. In 2007 the gay memoir/autobiography category was created (as was the lesbian memoir/autobiography category).[2]
