Use your anger – call your senators today
Just got an e-mail from the Human Rights Campaign. Looks like the legislation that would include sexual orientation in the federal hate crimes bill may be going to a vote in the Senate this week. Don’t let the conservative Christian haters frame the message. Call your senators today! Here’s what HRC had to say: Breaking…
Hate in Sin City
I write this with a heavy heart and tears burning my eyes. One of the Fag Bug volunteers e-mailed me today to let me know about a hate crime, based on sexual orientation, that just happened here in Las Vegas. I’m going to paste in the e-mail below so you can see the words from…
Goody bag
Almost forgot to mention a couple of events coming up. Be there or be square, as the kids used to say: Tonight is the Sin City Q Socials “Trendy Tuesdays Martini Mixer” at Polly Esthers inside The Stratosphere on the Strip. The event is from 8 to 10 p.m. Everyone who attends will receive complimentary…

Activism is HOT!

Okay, this doesn’t have anything to do with anything serious or important but it’s really fun. Go to The Simpsons movie website and you can create an avatar of yourself, Simpsons style. Hilarious!
Fine tuning

Contraception: That is the question
Just read an interesting post from Jessica over at Feministing. She really loves her new birth control method, the NuvaRing. In the feminist community we spend a lot of time lobbying just to make sure everyone has safe and easy access to birth control, but rarely do I encounter people who love their birth control…
