Dear Anti Sex Ed Crowd: Greetings and salutations! I bet you’re surprised to hear from me. After all, you’ve spent some time lately calling me a terrible mother (on television no less) because I advocate for a much-needed update to Nevada’s sex education standards — originally passed at the height of the AIDS-panic-1980s — that…
Is honesty the new currency in politics? As the Nevada Legislature rounds the corner on the final third of the session, I’m beginning to wonder if we’re seeing a new breed of politics — or at least politicians — coming out of Carson City. In a time when politicians are guarded against barbs and personal…
Today is Pay It Forward Day and all I can think about is how we’re going to make the world a better place. Actually, we are making it a better place. You show me that all the time. Whether it’s the success of the hate crimes event last week, your generous spirit in turning the…

We are just days away from NOH8 in Las Vegas on Friday, April 19! Come join us at Northwest Community Church, 101 S. Rancho Drive, and see what is possible when we come together to talk about hate crimes. It will be healing. It will be a radical, safe space to declare our intention for…
Are you ready for the NOH8 in Las Vegas hate crimes event, featuring Erin Davies and her “fag bug.” (Read more about Erin and the event here!) We have ONE WEEK to go! And now is the time that I need your help more than ever. If you would like to volunteer to help out…
When I wasn’t being blind-sided by the total lack of empathy on display at the comprehensive sex education hearing on April 1, I was dumbstruck by the purported “arguments” against updating our existing sex education law, passed in 1980, with a more comprehensive look at human sexuality and healthy relationships.
