Other than The Advocate and the Lambda Literary Awards, can anyone suggest
review sources or lists of "best" gay/lesbian/transgendered writing?
I'm not limiting this inquiry to fiction

The GAY & LESBIAN REVIEW has a lot of literature reviews of books I
don't see covered in other sources (it used to be called the HARVARD GAY
& LESBIAN REVIEW).

For academic http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/oneigla/onepress/

Duke University has a good resource which provides some well researched
bibliographies and resources
http://www.lib.duke.edu/reference/subjects/gaybib.htm

The ALA has had the Stonewall Book awards since 1971. For more info go
tohttp://www.ala.org/ala/glbtrt/stonewall/stonewallbook.htm

For a list of previous winners:
http://library.christchurch.org.nz/LiteraryPrizes/GayLesbian/

VOYA also does review GLBTQ literature for teens quite often and I recommend
Geography Club by Brent Hartinger, My Heartbeat by Garret Weyr and Annie on
my Mind by Nancy Garden are good reads. I would also check out censored and
banned book lists since homosexual content has managed to get them on those
kind of lists for years.
