Just a Bit Radical--call for submissions!

[Kiran/Catherine Oliver]

Call for Submissions — Just a Bit Radical Magazine:

Are you a member of the punk, GLBTQ spectrum, or a straight ally? Are you tattooed, pierced, modded, or do you listen to your music too loud? Have people ignored you or treated you differently based on how you look? If so, I want to hear from you. Do you want to have your voice heard on topics such as advocacy, sex, gender identity, stereotypes, body modification stereotyping, how body modding and punk life can change social climates, punk youth portrayed positively in mainstream media, and more? Just a Bit Radical is looking for submissions that fall into their first theme: ‘Silence’ Whether you submit a piece of artwork, an article, or a poem–It’s all welcome.

The zine will be published monthly online, and quarterly in print to the New England area.

For some ideas:

• How has the media ignored GLBTQ youth today?
• If we don’t come out, who will?
• How non conformist gender identities are ignored and made to feel invisible by society
• Why speaking out can save lives
• What I wish I could say to _________
• Draw an image that represents GLBTQ silence to you
• How does punk/body modification lead to marginalization, stereotyping, and invisibility of us us as people? How can we stand up for ourselves and speak out?

The world is your oyster!! Please email submissions to: justabitradical@ gmail dot com.

Submission Deadline: 4/15/2012
