Gaylactic Network

A North American LGBT sf club with several affiliate chapters across the United States and Canada. It oversees Gaylaxicon and originated the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards.

The Network sprang from the Boston-based Gaylaxian Science Fiction Society, a club founded by Franklin Hummel in 1986; Hummel, the group's first president, created the Gaylactic Network (later called Gaylaxians International) as an umbrella group in 1987, and the GSFS became a chapter. Other chapters/affiliated groups include:

• Gaylactic Outpost Atlanta, Atlanta, GA
• Gaylactic Toronto Alliance, Toronto, ON
• Golden Gate Gaylaxians, San Francisco, CA
• Lambda Sci-Fi: DC Area Gaylaxians, Washington, DC
• Niagara Falls Gaylactic Colonizers, Niagara Falls, NY
• North Country Gaylaxians, Minneapolis, MN
• Planet LAmbda, Los Angeles, CA
• San Diego Queer Sci-Fi: The San Diego Gaylaxians, San Diego, CA.

This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc. When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
