Critical reception
Gaysians won the 2026 Stonewall Book Award and the 2026 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Original Graphic Novel/Anthology.[2][3] It was also named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Fiction of 2025.[4]
Publishers Weekly called the novel a "warmhearted tale of found family."[5] Kirkus Reviews gave it a starred review, calling it "a tender and compelling coming-of-age story" and writing that it is "more than anything, perhaps—a story about how the family we're born into may compel us to create a chosen family."[6]
In a starred review, BookPage called the novel "a brilliant and beautifully drawn celebration of found family and belonging."[7]
