With the news that The Boy Scouts of America is toying with ending its discriminatory policy against GBT (and presumably L) people, I can’t help but compare them to The Girl Scouts.

Do you ever think to yourself, “I wonder what that gal that writes The Sin City Siren sounds like?” You’re in luck, my curious friends! I’m going to be on the real-live radio on Friday around 9:30 a.m. Tune in to KNPR, 88.9 on the dial, as they used to say on the radio when…
