Restless Violets - Summer 2025 Issue

A physical copy of the Summer 2025 issue of Restless Violets Magazine. Originally released August 2025.

The Summer issue of Restless Violets embraces the richness of lesbian culture, identity, and community. From a searing culture review to reflections on coming out and growing into your truth, this edition brings sharp insight and plenty of heart.

Highlights include a behind-the-lens interview with artist Lauren Mae on her powerful new project Girlhood, a feature on inclusive prom spaces, and an impassioned call for the preservation of lesbian-only spaces. Our writers also take on class and privacy within lesbian identity, the myth of celebrity salvation, and the vital role of lesbian elders.

As ever, it’s a mix of bold opinion, tender letters, witty critique, and creative flair, celebrating our history, questioning our present, and dreaming of a better future for lesbians across the world. Perfect summer reading for thoughtful lesbians and sapphic souls everywhere.
