The fun thing about starting this blog has been the reaction from the Las Vegas feminist and activist community. I am so happy that people have embraced The Siren and the work we have already accomplished in five short months. (And I genuinely believe the best is yet to come!) So even though I am…
Hey, it’s Emmily. Got this from Erin (of Fag Bug fame) and wanted to pass it along: Fagbug Date: 15 Oct 2007 9:30 AM Subject: looking for your personal stories Body: Looking For Your Personal Stories:A TELEVISION PRODUCER has created a TV show about my story and is looking for other victims of gay hate…
I’ve been holding off on this topic for a while — sexist ads, misogyny in marketing, et al. After all, living in Las Vegas is like being in the cultural petri dish of disgustingly sexist ad concepts.

That seems like a fine pat on the back for those folks toiling for the past three years to build a Downtown Arts District! What…
