We are lucky to have the following guest post from local Diana Rhodes who attended Lobby Day last week and spoke to our congressional delegation about the Stupak amendment and immigration rights. Take it away Diana! PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM! STOP STUPAK! Recently, I was given the opportunity to fly out to Washington D.C., and…
Welcome to the annual charitable giving list for 2009! These are just some of the ways you can give back while indulging in the mass-consumer, gift orgy of the December holidays. And as always, I don’t get anything for posting this but a smile. There’s a lot on the list that hasn’t changed from last…

I apologize I’m a little behind the ball on posting on Pride Week. And there’s already been big news! The Review Journal has endorsed SB283, the Domestic Partnership Bill. I don’t know if this means Hell is freezing over or that the small contingent of gays at the RJ staged a coup. Either way, it’s…
I am happy to announce that Planned Parenthood of Southern Nevada is joining the Sin City Sirens’ team for Race for the Cure! We had a great time with them at the AIDS Walk and so we’re teaming up again! There’s never been a better time to join the team or donate to the cause!…
