Each year, with help from the public, the online gay and lesbian resource recognizes outstanding websites, personalities and companies for their contributions to the LGBT community. Awards are presented in “Surfers Choice” and “Industry Choice” categories.

“Cybersocket would like to congratulate all of the winners and nominees of the 13th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards,” a spokesman noted in the official announcement. “Every year, votes from web surfers decide which companies and individuals have made the year’s most important contributions to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender internet community.
