So, what part of their mission statement did you find confusing that would lead you to believe that their organization was in any way about straight cis people?
The Lambda Literary Foundation is dedicated to raising the status of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people throughout society by rewarding and promoting excellence among LGBT writers who use their work to explore LGBT lives.
Emphasis mine. By your logic, it's just as unfair to not give an award to an author that's queer but doesn't write queer stories, even though that's plainly not at all what the organization or the award is about.
