AI: The Future or the End
Make no mistake about it: We are in uncharted waters right now with artificial intelligence. When I was in a crib 55 years ago, I found a pen and drew on my bedroom white walls a picture of my mom and dad. That’s all I knew. As I got older, I drew on anything I could find. I would take crayons, pens or pencils and draw on scrap paper even the cardboard that came with my dad’s dress shirts. Anything white was my canvas. It was my inspiration. I would draw and draw and draw to evolve my talent. As I progressed through school, my teachers in high school and college nursed my talent and encouraged me to continue and pushed me harder and harder until I was ready to face the world.
ION JUST JACK
Today with AI, my 55 years of honing my God-given talent can be recreated in minutes. What does that mean for any aspiring young artist that wants to create original writing, artwork or music? I really worry about the future, but you either have to embrace it or ignore it.
AI is here to stay and it’s in its infancy. It will take away jobs and compete with real artists. I bet I could ask AI to create an LGBTQ+ magazine digest size for the Arizona gay community and it would create the entire issue in minutes. What it took me 25 years can be recreated instantly.
What’s the answer? How do we use AI for good instead of evil like we’ve already seen. I don’t have the answers. I turned my art into my passion and into my career. I don’t think if I was born today, I could do what I have done competing with AI. What do you think? Has AI affected your life in anyway? Has it made your life better or has it made it worse. Like every major invention, you can’t fight it and eventually you have to embrace it and work with it.
All I can promise you as we move into uncharted waters that my team of creative writers, models, artists, photographers will continue our mission to bring the Arizona LGBTQ+ community the best publication and app in the country for FREE! With your help supporting our advertisers, we can continue this mission for years to come.
Enjoy November and this amazing issue. Use ION as your guide to your community. BTW this article was written totally with AI. JK

Mo-tivating Men’s Health: Why We’re Playing for More Than Muscle
In honor of November’s focus on men’s health, darling — yes, that means you!
You might think November’s all about pumpkin spice and early holiday chaos, but honey — it’s also time to get serious about the men in your life (and your own). This month, we’re spotlighting the bold, fun, and vital work of Movember Foundation: the global movement flipping mustaches into meaningful change across prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s mental health. Their track record? Over 1,320 men’s health projects in 20+ countries.
Why It Hits Different in the LGBTQ+ Community
Here’s the tea, fierceness: Men globally live, on average, six years less than women. And they’re 24% less likely to visit a doctor. Within the queer community, barriers mount — from navigating your identity to accessing care. So when Movember says “Let’s change the face of men’s health,” we’re reading that loud and clear.
Prostate Cancer: Let’s Talk Turbulence
Ladies and gentlemen, the prostate is the tiny walnut-sized gland with big implications. And prostate cancer? It’s the second most common cancer in men. One in eight men will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Particularly heavy in communities of color: Black men can be up to 2.5X more likely to get it. But here’s the kicker — detection is key. A simple PSA test, done with your doc, could be the move. And some cases? They’re slow, harmless, but some can spread. Quick action changes everything.
And in our queer world? It’s about reclaiming our narratives — owning our bodies, grabbing screenings, giving fewer reasons for doctors to guess.
Mental Health & Testicular Cancer:
The Quiet Queens
You’ve heard the joke about the man who won’t go to the doctor. It’s not funny. Every day, 90+ American men die by suicide. And hurry: testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men (15–34), yet still so curable.
This isn’t just “back-up plan” stuff. This is Pride energy meets body care: talk to each other, check in, lift one another up. We say no to stigma, yes to check-ups.
How We Slay for Health
Here’s where we bring the sparkle into the campaign (and no, you don’t need to grow a mustache—but if you do? We’ll be here for it).
• Scan the QR code you’ll see on the next page. Yes, it’s your direct link to donate. Every bit helps.
• Grow a Mo, Move a Mile, Host the Moment — Movember’s remix of fun for funds.
• Check your stats, check your screen — ask your doctor about PSA tests, know your family history, and let no one tell you “you’ll deal with that later.”
• Talk it out — even if you camera-flash a selfie talking about your check-up or your mood, it ripples.
• Shared community mission — raise those funds locally, spread word-of-mouth in the queer scene, host brunches for bros, bring your drag crew into the mix.
Why Your $10, $50, or $100 Matters
Funds raised fuel impactful programs like True North, a global prostate-cancer initiative advancing imaging, treatments, and survivor support. Your donation helps reduce treatment variability, fund clinical breakthroughs, and ensure men — especially men of color and queer men — don’t fall through cracks. And if you’re thinking “Is this relevant for me?” — yes. Men’s
health intersects with queer health, with HIV care, with transmasculine folks, with chosen-family support systems.
Local Action, Right Here Right Now
You don’t need to jet to Sydney to fight for men’s health. In our community:
• Host a “Mo Breakfast” at your local safe space or bar
• Run a canned-meal drag brunch with donation buckets
• Partner with local LGBTQ+ clinics to spread PSA test info
• Encourage local queer men: talk about health, link folks to inclusive providers
So here’s the moment, darling:
Scan the QR code. Donate your dollar, two, twenty. Raise your Mo or your voice. Ask the question “When was your last check-up?”
Because men in our community don’t just deserve wellness. They deserve thriving, bomb-dot-com health. Let’s make it fun, loud, and full of Pride.
This November, we stand collectively: for health, for life, for queer men living their best, fiercest selves. The moustache grows, the funds flow — and the faces through men’s health change forever.
Guilt Is Not a Fitness Plan: Finding Balance During the Holidays
By Rafael, Founder of Rafalogie Fit and Life Coach
he holidays are supposed to feel joyful, but for many people on a fitness journey, this time of year brings anxiety, guilt, and the pressure to stay perfect. You either overeat and feel bad or avoid everything and feel left out. But here is the truth: one holiday meal is not going to ruin your progress. Guilt might.
At Rafalogie Fit, I coach busy professionals to see fitness as part of a bigger picture. You are allowed to enjoy food and still be focused. The key is being intentional. If you know you are going to a holiday dinner, maybe that is your rest day. Maybe the day before you keep your meals a little lighter so your body can handle a surplus. You are not failing, you are planning.
And if you do go off track, take a breath. Awareness is more powerful than restriction. One day will not break you. What matters is what you do most of the time, not once in a while. As a life coach, I help clients reframe these moments. The goal is not perfection, it is peace with your choices. Progress is built on consistency, not shame.
Fitness should support your life, not punish it.

Selling Sunset – Season 8
(Netflix – Closes the deal October 29)
Break out the champagne flutes and stilettos, darling— Selling Sunset is back and this season is messier than a Botox brunch at The Oppenheim Group. Chrishell Stause is promising drama, and honey, after hearing about the Nicole Young chaos at that explosive cast dinner (allegedly on camera, no less), we believe every word. There’s shade, shouting, and sapphic strength as Chrishell continues to clap back while loving up on G Flip. Will peace finally find its way to that million-dollar open house? Doubt it. And we’re living for it.
I Love LA
(HBO – Crashes your couch November 2)
What’s it about? Who cares! I Love LA stars Bottoms breakout Rachel Sennott and that’s reason enough to tune in. It’s giving hot-mess millennials, chaotic brunches, mystery text threads, and the kind of friendships built on trauma bonding and overpriced lattes. Odessa A’zion and Jordan Firstman join the mix as they bop from clubs to coffee shops to rentcontrolled apartments they 100% don’t qualify for. It’s messy, moody, maybe meaningless—and that’s why it’s probably perfect. Lights, camera, queer chaos!
The Mighty Nein
(Prime Video – Casting spells November 19)
Don’t have 800+ hours to commit to the Critical Role livestream? Same, sis. But The Mighty Nein is here to rescue your queer lil’ soul with an animated D&D fantasy full of trauma, spells, and pansexual chaos. This rowdy band of lovable misfits includes an aro-ace mushroom daddy (Caduceus), a full-blown disaster dyke (Beauregard), and a sword-swinging lesbian barbarian (Yasha) whose playlist includes “WAP.” With guests like Alan Cumming and Ming-Na Wen, this is one gay campaign you’ll actually finish.
From the Boogie Down to the AZ: The Only Thanksgiving Pernil That Matters
For me, the soul-deep aroma of November isn’t turkey— it’s the glorious cloud of garlic, oregano, and slow-roasted pork that transports me from Arizona back to my Bronx childhood. This feast isn’t just for one day; it’s the kickoff to the entire Puerto Rican holiday season, a six-week stretch of family, music, and flavor that lasts right through Three Kings’ Day. Thanksgiving was always defined by the delicious rivalry over who made the best Pernil. This king of the table—a slow-roasted pork shoulder marinated in potent adobo and sofrito—is served alongside the perfect court: nutty Arroz con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas) and crispy Tostones (fried plantains with garlic oil). When you cut into that fork-tender meat and crunch into the golden cuerito (crackling skin), the whole idea of dry turkey disappears. This is comfort, this is tradition, and this is why my recipe finally stole the crown from my brother. Forget the traditional bird this year and embrace a dinner guaranteed to be the most anticipated meal of your holiday season.

Recipe Spotlight: My Pernil Marinade
While the cooking time for a full pernil is long (plan for $8+$ hours of slow roasting!), the secret to a tender, explosive roast is all in the marinade.
Ingredients for the Sofrito/Adobo Rub (for a 7-9 lb Pork Shoulder)
• 1 cup fresh cilantro, packed
• 1/2 cup fresh recao (culantro) leaves
• 1 cup fresh cubanelle peppers or green bell pepper
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 1 head of garlic (about 10-12 cloves), peeled
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons salt (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 packet of Sazón seasoning (optional, for color and flavor)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Blend the Sofrito: Combine the cilantro, recao (culantro) leaves, peppers, onion, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar in a food processor or blender until a smooth, green paste is formed.
2. Make the Adobo: Pour the sofrito into a bowl and stir in the oregano, salt, pepper, and Sazón (if using). This is your potent adobo rub.
3. Prep the Pork: Pat the pork shoulder dry. Using a sharp knife, puncture the skin and meat all over, creating deep little pockets.
4. Marinate: Rub the adobo mixture deep into all the cuts and over the entire surface of the pork. For the best flavor, place the pork in a large bag or dish, cover it, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or preferably up to 48 hours.
5. Roast: Remove the pork from the fridge 2 hours before roasting. Preheat your oven to $300^\ circ$F. Roast the pernil for 6-8 hours until a meat thermometer registers $195^\circ$F. For the last 30 minutes, increase the temperature to $400^\circ$F to guarantee that crispy cuerito (skin).
6. Serve: Shred the meat, break the cuerito into pieces, and serve immediately with the arroz con gandules and tostones!

Chemsex and Community Care: Prioritizing Sexual Wellness in Phoenix
Within LGBTQ+ spaces, open conversations about sex, connection, and pleasure are vital to community health. And yet there remains too much silence when it comes to the topic of chemsex, the use of drugs such as methamphetamine, GHB, ketamine, ecstasy, or cocaine to enhance sexual experience or intimacy. While some people engage in chemsex seeking confidence, connection, or exploration, it can be a slippery slope that carries risks that deserve compassionate attention.
For many, chemsex use grows from an occasional fun weekend to a substance use disorder that carries with it a high risk of HIV and STI transmission, challenges around consent, and mental health struggles like anxiety, isolation, or shame. These risks are worsened by stigma, which can keep people from seeking care and push them back toward drug use to cope.
Thankfully, Spectrum Medical, led by Dr. Howard Grossman, is a trusted leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare and HIV prevention, supporting hundreds of patients seeking care related to chemsex and sexual wellness. The clinic’s approach centers on harm reduction and whole-person wellness, meeting people where they are, without judgment.
“Our goal isn’t to shame anyone. It’s to provide information, prevention tools, and compassionate care so people can make informed, empowered choices,” says Grossman. “Harm reduction is about meeting people where they are. When it comes to chemsex, that means helping individuals make safer choices, stay connected to care, and know they’re never alone—no matter what their journey looks like.”
If you or someone you know would like to talk openly and safely about chemsex, or explore HIV prevention and affirming sexual-health services, Spectrum Medical’s team is here to help.
Spectrum Medical also provides personalized primary care, including gender-affirming care, free and confidential rapid HIV and STI testing, access to prevention medications including PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, and behavioral-health support for those who want to explore their relationship with substance use.
Care is always inclusive, sex-positive, and trauma-informed.

Lookout for LOOKOUT News Briefs In ION Arizona
Sex Ed, But Make It Lotería
By Daniel Mills
This story was originally published in LOOKOUT, a nonprofit LGBTQ+ newsroom focused on elevating queer stories across Arizona. You can read the full story in our Fall 2025 Issue or online at lookoutnews.org
On a sweltering Tuesday night in Phoenix, dozens of Spanish-speaking LGBTQ+ community members crowded into Trans Queer Pueblo. The fans whirred, glasses with hibiscus tea clinked against metal chairs, and the heat lingered past sunset. Still, the room buzzed with laughter as Health Justice Coordinator Aron Castillo passed around a microphone, asking each person to share a sex myth they grew up with.
One person joked they once believed religious people don’t have sex. Another mentioned the stigma around STIs. Castillo nodded. “For a lot of us, we didn’t speak about sexuality with our parents,” they said. “We grew up with myths to scare us. That’s the education we had.”
The night’s activity was Sex Ed Lotería — a spin on the traditional Mexican bingo game. Instead of roosters or devils, the cards featured sexual health terms in Spanish: “el consentimiento” (consent), “condón interno” (internal condom), “anticonceptivos” (contraceptives). When a card was drawn, organizers explained its meaning. Winners walked away with sex toys and lubricant, a playful reminder that pleasure is part of health.
That inclusivity is absent from most Arizona classrooms. Until 2019, state law banned positive portrayals of same-sex relationships in schools. Two years later, lawmakers repealed a mandate requiring “respect for monogamous heterosexual relationships.” Yet restrictions remain: abstinence is still prioritized, PrEP is rarely taught, and sex ed isn’t mandatory at all. Advocates warn vague language around “abnormal” sexual acts could target queer students.
Trans Queer Pueblo fills the gaps. Its weekly Junta Comunitaria meetings combine health education with shared meals, and its clinic offers free condoms, hormones, and menstrual products. Some attendees said it was the first time they learned PrEP isn’t just for gay men — or that internal condoms exist.
“We’ve failed our communities and our schools,” said organizer Sheily Quiñonez. “This is why we’re creating knowledge, joy, and justice right here.”
Sunset Paddleboarding on the Salt River: Arizona’s Best-Kept Secret
About the Author
If you’re looking for the perfect way to end a desert day, grab a paddleboard and hit the Salt River in the evening. There’s something special about floating down this stretch of water as the sun begins to set. The air cools just enough to feel refreshing after the daytime heat, the water stays warm against your feet, and the whole river seems to slow down and breathe with you.
One of the best routes is from Pebble Beach down to Phon D Sutton. It’s about a two and a half hour float, which is just the right amount of time to fully sink into the rhythm of the river without rushing. The evenings are quieter too, with far fewer people on the water, so you often feel like you have the place to yourself.
Keep an eye on the shoreline and you might spot the wild horses that live in the area. They often wander down to the river at dusk, standing bellydeep in the water as they graze. Sharing that golden hour light with them is one of those experiences that feels both rare and deeply connected to nature.
And then there’s the sky. Arizona sunsets are famous for a reason. As you paddle, the horizon shifts through layers of orange, pink, and violet, reflecting off the calm surface of the river. It’s hard not to pause, plant your paddle across the board, and just take it all in.
Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or trying it for the first time, an evening float down the Salt River is pure desert magic. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect reminder of why we call this wild l andscape home.

ION FABULANCE
November is here, and the universe is giving “seasonal depression, but make it fashion.” Scorpio season is in full mysterious swing, followed by Sagittarius bursting through the door like, “Surprise, let’s get drunk and book flights we can’t afford!” It’s a month of deep feels, impulsive choices, and realizing that “gratitude” sometimes just means not texting your ex. Expect emotional revelations, dramatic dinner conversations, and at least one cosmic reminder that chaos can, in fact, be cleansing. Let’s dive in before Mercury decides to start something again.
♈ ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re passionate, loud, and ready to take on the world, again. November says: chill. Recharge that fiery energy before you accidentally pick a fight over cranberry sauce.
♉ TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
You’re craving peace, stability, and snacks. Same. But November’s stirring up your emotions, babe. Focus on gratitude and not just for carbs and cute people who text back. You’re worth more than that.
♊ GEMINI (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your social butterfly wings are flapping, but November wants you to dig deeper, and not in the way you’re thinking... Not every convo needs to be flirty banter, some can actually be real. Scary, I know.
♋ CANCER (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Emotions? Overflowing. You’re in your cozy feels, but beware of overthinking. Not every silence means doom. Light a candle, pour some wine, and chill your sentimental shell.
♌ LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You’re the main character, as always, but November says: share the stage. Let others shine (a little). You’ll still get applause, it’s impossible for you not to steal the scene.
♍ VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
You’re trying to fix everyone’s problems again, Virgo. Stop! November is about you. Take a break from perfection! Burn a pie, skip a meeting, kiss someone out of your league.
♎ LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
You’re in your diplomatic era, but someone’s about to test that patience. Channel your inner peace or your inner diva. Either way, serve it with a stunning outfit.
♏ SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It’s your season, you mysterious menace! You’re magnetic, moody, and maybe a little scary but in a hot way. Use your power wisely or chaos will remain your love language.
♐ SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Happy birthday, cosmic troublemaker! You’re radiating “let’s run away” energy. Do it (responsibly). This month’s for reckless joy, travel, and questionable decisions that make great stories later.
♑ CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You’re in reflection mode, which is cute until you start writing performance reviews for your friendships. Lighten up, boss babe, November’s for gratitude, not spreadsheets of emotional ROI.
♒ AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You’re feeling introspective and slightly detached, shocker. Call your friends, show some feelings, and maybe flirt with someone who doesn’t speak exclusively in memes.
♓ PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You’re vibing with the emotional depth of Scorpio season, almost too much. Ground yourself before you accidentally start romanticizing chaos. Dream big, but also… pay your bills. November’s giving cozy chaos, emotional rebirth, and the perfect excuse to ghost people “for self-care.”
