This Lips Tumblr will serve as a tool to share news and information about the production of the zine, as well as images, articles, and literature to help spark creativity!
Lips Richmond is an independent magazine, or zine, distributed bi-annually in Richmond, VA. Lips is a fun and sexy alternative to popular magazines that objectify bodies and fail to speak honestly about sex. The pages are filled with artwork, doodles, poems, stories and essays about gender identity and sex submitted by women and sexual minorities living in the South.
When we encourage sexual expression, we begin to paint a more complete picture of sex and love. We hope readers will learn from others, and use this information to work towards achieving acceptance of self and others as well as healthy relationships based on mutual understanding and pleasure.

The school board in Suffolk, Virginia is proposing a ban on “CROSS-GENDER” dressing in the student dress code. You can read more about it in the article linked here.This is a clear attack on gender-variant youth in Virginia and should not be tolerated. The problem is not gender-expression but the social norms that allow these youth to be bullied.
If you can please help spread the word about a school board meeting that is happening TONIGHT. Only folks from Suffolk will be allowed to speak but it ALWAYS helps to have bodies out. Set up car pools people!!!
