I organized this hate crimes event because I’m a mom
Cross-posted from The Sin City Siren: Are you ready for the NOH8 in Las Vegas hate crimes event? I can’t believe it’s almost here! You can still RSVP here. And all this planning has me thinking about the first time I organized an event for Erin Davies and her “fag bug.” I spent most of […]
No room for hate
February 13, 2013
Had an interesting conversation with my friend Alex today. It got me thinking about all the things I see in my Facebook and twitter feeds. All the issues and causes and politics we care about. One of the things people ask me is why I care about equality issues for people who do not look […]
National Day of Silence screening of Fag Bug documentary
February 8, 2013
Six years ago I organized a couple of hate crimes awareness events here in Las Vegas for something called the Fag Bug. Erin Davies, the owner of the now-famous VW car, is touring the country once again and this time she’s got a documentary about her 2007 tour (which just so happens to feature Las […]
The Girl Scouts: On leadership, inclusiveness, and cookies
January 31, 2013
With the news that The Boy Scouts of America is toying with ending its discriminatory policy against GBT (and presumably L) people, I can’t help but compare them to The Girl Scouts of the USA. In fairness, I must admit up front that I am an alum of the organization. But that’s not enough to […]
A Feminist Parent’s Gift Guide
December 14, 2012
Perhaps it is the natural out-growth of keeping an eagle-eye out for Tired Marketing Fails or it is just the nature of being a feminist parent, but I find shopping for my toddler to be the hardest of my entire holiday gift list. We do our best to give our kids an environment that is […]
Called to the principal’s office
December 2, 2012
Last week I awoke to a phone call from my daughter’s day school administrator. “Did you know that your daughter has a rash?” she said in the same curt, accusatory tone she uses at all times (or at least every time I have spoken with her). It’s 8 am and I had elected to sleep […]
Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 15, 2012
Passing this along from some friends in the LGBTQ community: This is an annual event to help bring about Awareness, Education, and Support to the Transgender Community. It is an event which we recognize the lives of those who were slain in hate crimes because of who they were. Everyone is invited to attend even […]
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon
May 11, 2012
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 […]
Only 8 more days to send a message to the UFC!
March 23, 2012
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! […]
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.) […]
