Although it was April 1, the hearing on the comprehensive sex education bill (AB230), was no joke. Except when it was hilarious — in a decidedly macabre, nihilistic, dark-comedy sort of way. I sat through four-and-a-half hours of discussion and testimony on AB230 — which seeks to amend and update existing sex ed curriculum, passed…
Just in time to spread the word about the comprehensive sex ed bill (AB230) hearing on Monday, April, 1 at 2:30… I’ve created some fun images you can share! (You’re welcome!) Please share with all your friends!
For some time now there’s been an unwritten ironic joke about growing up in Nevada. Legalized prostitution? You bet. A resort industry predicated on selling itself through the objectification of women? Yup. But try to get the kids some comprehensive sex education and the opposition will make it rain! And by “rain,” I mean scream…
It’s Oct. 10 and that means there are only 10 more days left before early voting starts in Nevada (and other states). And just because I want to push the dial a bit the day before the vice presidential debate, let’s look at some flashcards to brush up on why there is a lot at…

Where do I begin? Where do I begin? Okay, so by now, I’m sure you’ve heard about Missouri Rep. Todd Akin’s “ill-conceived” comments about, well, conception. Do you think Akin knows the irony of using the phrase “ill-conceived”? Friends, I think we should look at this not as a mean-spirited criticism of any woman who…
The opponents of Planned Parenthood are at it again. Or, I would say they’re at it again but they’ve really never stopped. But these days it seems the attacks on reproductive health care and women’s autonomy of their own bodies is on a constant feedback loop. It’s no wonder it inspired the hyperbolic War on…
Call this my impromptu Get-Out-The-Vote Week. And today’s impassioned plea for you — especially you women — to get your butts to the voting booth comes from Tara Brosnan, Field Organizer for the Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood Affiliates: Are you disillusioned with politics? Are you so fed up with the attacks on women’s health…
Are you the one your friends turn to when they have questions about sex? Do you feel like you are a walking wiki on human sexuality? If this sounds familiar — or perhaps you have always wanted to be this person — maybe it’s time to think about taking it to the next level (courtesy…
