2026 Pride Treasure Hunt - hints for clue 2

Rainbow 2
Named for a journalist with conviction,
And the band played on, his defining note.
This award honors nonfiction,
Previously awarded to a Scapegoat. (Abby)

23 JasonRiedy : On #2, there might be a title embedded in the clue.

32 amanda4242 : That one's kind of tricky because it's not an award page, but a category. Find the right award, and then click on the right category on the award page to get the rainbow.

64 rebcamuse : For #2, the clue contains the title of a famous book by the author for whom the award is named

78 krazy4katz : For #2, it's complicated and I am posting what I think I remember: You need the name of a person suggested by the hint. Then you need to use that name, which is part of the Award name. It was also awarded to another person mentioned in the hint. I don't know if that helps but good luck!!

Amanda4242's hint was actually for clue #8! The post had hint 1 and hint 2 for clue 8 :^)

>3 WayanayaW: I thought it looked familiar when I was doing the 8's. I'll move it, thanks.

107 krazy4katz : For #2: I agree this was complicated. You need the journalist who wrote the book mentioned in the last part of the first sentence. Then you need to look for a subcategory of nonfiction awards named after him by an award company. It was not awarded to him. It was named for him. It was also awarded to the other person mentioned at the end of the hint. Unfortunately, that author name does not seem to come up when you search for it in LT, unless I am wrong.

115 LibraryCin : I went to the book page (I had already been there before trying to figure out the clue!), but then just took the last name and did a new search, then used the Awards filter. Found the subcategory from there
