Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
HuffPost Women has a new campaign called “The Moment I Knew I Was a Woman, Not a Girl” in which users submit videos chronicling their exile from Girlville. It’s an interesting question, especially considering how dangerous it feels to be Living While Female these days. And it strikes to the core of gender, really. Because […]
Tell Hallmark to stop stealing from local LGBT greeting card company Teazled!
February 23, 2012
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.) […]
Time for the UFC to grow up
November 11, 2011
The mantel of hero has always been heavy. In the comics, Spiderman is told that with great power comes great responsibility. And even though the web-slinger might not be a real person, the advice rings true for our flesh-and-blood heroes, too. In these modern times, heroes come in a variety of forms built up by […]
Feminist Files: It’s a jungle out there
October 18, 2011
Is it something in the air? If you think there is no War on Women, you haven’t been paying attention to the full-scale attack on Planned Parenthood — which is nothing short of an indictment on women’s reproductive health care.

Exhibit A: Tough Love Jezebel reported yesterday on the ugly fat-shaming that came out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s mouth while talking to Ross Mathews: As you may know, Ross Mathews, the late […]
Gender neutral
June 1, 2011
Normally when a baby is born it is cause for celebration. So what to make of the media frenzy that erupted after the birth of one of Toronto’s newest residents, baby Storm? In case you missed it, Storm’s parents, Kathy Witterick and David Stocker decided not to release the gender of their newborn. As it […]
TMF: When gender police attack!
April 21, 2011
Last week the conservative media and blogs blew up with the news of a J Crew ad featuring Creative Director Jenn Lyons painting her son’s toenails pink. While nail polish might not be a toy exactly, I think this qualifies for a Toy Marketing FAIL! post if I ever saw one. This is just another […]
Hate speech sucks
March 22, 2011
The following post comes from Erin Davies, owner of the fagbug. Long-time readers may recall that The Sin City Siren’s first community project was bringing Davies to Las Vegas as part of her 41-state, cross-country trip to talk about homophobia and hate crimes. Gay Filmmaker Gets Death Threat on SUNY Campus By Erin Davies In […]
Time running out to save Planned Parenthood!
February 15, 2011
If you haven’t already, please take the time to call your representative to lobby to save Planned Parenthood from proposed Title X cuts! Even though Title X funds already cannot be used for abortions, conservatives are aiming to end all services provided by Planned Parenthood. Only 3% of Planned Parenthood’s services are for abortions, according […]
