For a lot of people who have met me in the past decade or so, it might seem like I don’t know anything about poverty first-hand. After all, I’m a white, stay-at-home mom in the suburbs. It doesn’t get more stereotypically middle-class and conventional than that. But anyone who reads The Sin City Siren with…
Dear readers, you have spoken! And the winner of The Sin City Siren’s 5th Anniversary Charity Poll is God’s Groceries! It was a hot match between The ACLU of Nevada and God’s Groceries. And up until an hour left in voting today The ACLU had it all but sewn up. But God’s Groceries, which is…
This is a great event and an important way to create a safe (and fun) space for our LGBTQ youth. The Center has been doing a prom event for 10 years and they need all the help they can get. They estimate it costs $50 per person (and they only as $5 at the door!).…
Have you signed the UFC petition, yet? You only have 8 more days until it closes! Then I will be delivering it to the UFC headquarters in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness month in April. This is a chance to have your voice be heard that rape jokes and hate speech are NOT funny. Ever!…

As you might have noticed, I’m working on some things to spruce up The Sin City Siren a bit. I’m coming up on a 5th anniversary on May 6. If that doesn’t call for a little renovation around here I don’t know what does! The most obvious and awesome update that I want to highlight…
It’s that time of year again: Time to bowl for abortion access for the National Abortion Access Bowl-A-Thon! I am proud to say that SCS has participated all three years of this event. But this year is special, because this year I am not just doing a virtual campaign to raise money for this good…
Happy International Women’s Day! What, you didn’t know it was International Women’s Day? Wait, you did know that March is Women’s History Month, right? Okay, okay. Maybe International Women’s Day is not at the top of your annual holiday calendar. But there’s good reason to be thinking about this 101-year-old tradition. So what is IWD?…
Folks, we need to step up and help one of our own. LGBTQ greeting card company Teazled, which was founded by a fantastic lesbian couple and is based right here in Las Vegas, is in a fight over intellectual property and copyright infringement with the megalith Hallmark. (Full disclosure: The couple go to my church.)…
I’m not sure if my recovery from stomach flu was hampered or hastened by saga and pageantry of Tuesday night’s Iowa caucus. While all the pundits and political junkies swoon that it’s finally presidential caucus/primary season, almost everyone else in the country was still wondering (perhaps secretly), “What the hell is a caucus, anyway.
