Singer-songwriter Patty Larkin and Stephen Gately of the Irish pop outfit Boyzone were also nominated for the award, to be given out by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation in ceremonies to take place later this year.

The complete category listing is: K.D. Lang, Invincible Summer; Sleater-Kinney, All Hands On The Bad One; Janis Ian, God And The F.B.I.; Patty Larkin, Regrooving The Dream; and Stephen Gately for his solo effort, New Beginning.
