On April 24, 2014 Shyam was honoured, along with authors Waawaate Fobister, Patricia Nell-Warren, and Edmund White, for his contribution to advancing the cause of sexual diversity through writing.
The awards, celebrating The Power of Word, were presented at Hart House’s Great Hall at the annual Bonham Centre Awards Gala. More than 200 supporters of the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies attended the gala. The event was made possible thanks to the generous support of RBC, the presenting sponsor.
