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.

[Image: A collage that shows a kid who’s standing in front of their classmates and wearing a red Hello Kitty hair bow, rainbow arc-shaped tie, light blue collared shirt, red nail polish and a purple patterned skirt over dark pants. They’re reading from a paper that reads, “TRANS* LOVE!” A speech bubble above their head says, “Stop spreading anti-trans bigotry!” A light green star burst to the left contains text, “trans*, genderqueer & non-binary folks demand SOLIDARITY, RESPECT, SUPPORT LOVE across genders!” Words at the bottom read, “REVOLUTION TRANS* STYLE NOW!!!” Stickers of cats, glittery stars, hearts, rainbows, butterflies and flowers are scattered over the collage.]
REVOLUTION TRANS* STYLE NOW! by pinchkid on Flickr.
I was inspired to make this little collage today and will save up my pennies to copy & distribute it. Sorry for the shitty photo (I don’t have a scanner), but I think the point gets across regardless of the poor quality.Some folks have asked me to post this again ; apparently the image link has been showing up broken or somethin. Please feel free to post this with credit and do not remove the image description. I want this to be accessible for people who are unable to view images for whatever reason. Thanks!

If my horrible, racist, homophobic boss says ‘He-She’ one more time I’m going to punch her.
