2020 was a challenging year for all of us. But America will always rebound and build back better. The Arizona LGBTQ+ community was not immune to this pain and devastation. But like America, we will rise from the ashes. Like many businesses/organizations, ION Arizona closed our offices in March 2020. It was a tough decision. But now, ION Arizona is announcing some major changes at relaunch. We have a new website, updated app and totally redesigned print and online magazine. Welcome back!

Once upon a time far away in America’s Dairyland, there lived a sissy little white gay boy named Joey Jay. He loved to dance. He learned how to dress up, wear lipstick, but he hated wigs. He moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he practiced and practiced. One day RuPaul picked him to compete on national TV in her Emmy™ award winning reality show to be America’s Next Drag Superstar.
A “Model Immigrant” and business mogul, Honduran-born Mando’s cleaning empire is bracing for a downturn at the exact same moment when he must rein in his over-privileged American son Orlando. In the wake of a personal crisis, Orlando suddenly finds himself responsible for the fate of a treasured worker and the future of his father’s entire enterprise. What happens when the promise of the American Dream collides with the reality of immigration and family? A moving new coming-of-age comedy about the complexities of privilege, citizenship, sexual identity, and the most complex relationship of all: family.
