Tomorrow is the two-month anniversary of The Sin City Siren. I wanted to check in with you, my faithful readers (thank you very much), and get an idea of what you like, what you don’t and what you’d like to see more of. Want more news? More guest columns? Less personal anecdotes? Let me know! Tell…
Just read an interesting post from Jessica over at Feministing. She really loves her new birth control method, the NuvaRing. In the feminist community we spend a lot of time lobbying just to make sure everyone has safe and easy access to birth control, but rarely do I encounter people who love their birth control…
I’m excited to announce that my friend and local artist, Jeff Hagen, has created three one-of-a-kind art pieces inspired by the Fag Bug and he’s selling them in a charity auction on Ebay. He plans to donate 50% of the proceeds to Erin’s cross-country journey. And depending on how these auctions go, he’ll continue making…
It’s been a busy day and a lot of amazing things are happening for the Fag Bug project in Las Vegas and with other cool local events: Las Vegas Fag Bug events finalized! We’re having a press conference for Erin and the Fag Bug at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada at…
I’m swamped with Fag Bug planning today but don’t think I’ve forgotten about you completely. Here’s some feminist news to tide you over: Get your party on for the environment: On 7/7/07 Las Vegas will be part of the 24-hour Live Earth concert series, which spans seven continents. The Las Vegas Change the Climate party…
Good news everyone! Things are really rolling along to get the Fag Bug event off the ground next month. She’ll be here July 26 and 27 so it’s less than 30 days away! I had an incredibly productive meeting last night with members of the local HRC (Human Rights Campaign), which is starting a new…
Well kids, I’m back. Although I admit it’s somewhat reluctantly because that vacation was good stuff. But now it’s on to new and wondrous things … like the frustration of doing the right thing for the planet. Have you noticed the new ad campaigns for compact fluorescent lights (known as CFLs)? Even Walmart has ironically…
Just a quick note to let you know I’ll be away from my computer for the next few days for some much needed R&R. One of my goals with quitting my day job is to get out and enjoy life a little more. And there will be time enough in the very near future for…
Just got word about the Nevada Public Benefit Board hearing tomorrow (Wed.) about domestic partner benefits. A member of the local HRC told me that as of earlier today, the e-mail traffic to the board was 100% against voting to approve domestic partner benefits. While we may have a nasty law in this state that…
Yesterday was Father’s Day and I am proud to offer this piece written by my best friend Joshua Todd. He’s not only a brilliant social worker devoting his professional time in Portland, Ore. to the first Youth Bill of Rights in the nation, he is also an organizer for Daddies & Pappas, which held its…
