I just read over at Figleaf's Real Adult Sex that one of our all time favorite sex activists has just been recognized for her amazing work. Heather Corinna is the founder, editor, fundraiser and amazing force behind Scarleteen, the incredible sex info site for teens. I've raved about Scarleteen before for the way it doesn't talk down to teens, answers real questions, and doesn't reduce sex to mechanics and plumbing, but recognizes the complexity of relationships, emotions, mental and physical health.

Heather is also the author of S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-To-Know Progressive Sexuality Guide to Get You Through High School and College.

Oh, and she's an incredible photographer, too. Check out Femmerotic.com for some of her work.

American Sexuality gives the Sexual Literacy awards and you can read about the other awards and their winners here.

Congratulations Heather!

...because public space really matters!
