Silas House
House is a very public person in the LGBTQ community in Kentucky. In 2022 he won the Duggins Prize for LGBTQ+ writers. When he won that award he said, "I hope that I have made another LGBTQ person—especially those living in rural places—feel seen and heard the way previous winners of this prize…made me feel seen and heard as a young gay man living in a rural place.”
