Take Pride in Yourself and Community Be Comforable in Your Birthday and Swim Suits

ION JUST JACK

hen I was a kid I knew I was different. I didn’t like sports. I definitely didn’t like girls. But I was forced to play sports, forced to date girls and forced to live a lie. I didn’t like the person I was trying to be. Then one day in my 20s, I said, “Screw it. This is my life and I do what I want.” So I came out and never looked back. Being proud of who and what you are is the pinnacle of happiness. So while most of us celebrate our freedom and pride all year round, June is the official National Pride Month. In the past you’d have to go to a local boutique and hope they had the right gear to show your Pride. Fast forward 20 years and you can get Pride merchandise practically anywhere. Old Navy, Target, Macy’s the list goes on. It’s it’s not just flags and t-shirts. Kellogg’s has celebration cereal, Bud Light has a Pride bottle, the list goes on. Most of these companies offer same sex benefits and donate a portion of the profits from their Pride merchandise sales to LGBTQ+ charities and programs arouynd the world. Check out our Pink Dollar Pride Merch Guide on page 44. As a little closeted gay boy growing up on a lake and pools, I couldn’t help be attracted to swimmers and their tight, sexy swimsuits. I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right. As the 80s and 90s progressed male swimsuits grew to ridiculous lengths hiding the beauty of the male physique. Today brief cut swimsuits are a staple in nearly every young gay man’s closet. For this year’s suits from the ES Collection check out our annual summer swimsuit feature on page 24. These suits are available at ESollectionUSA.com Wear your new swimsuit with Pride. What will you do this month to celebrate Pride month? Show off your rainbow clothes, swimsuits and accessories with pride and freedom. It’s a beautiful thing. This is our month. Enjoy! Jack M. Tesorero Over the Rainbow

ION HOMOSCOPES

ummer Solstice happens in Arizona at 8:31 p.m. on Sunday, June 20. Day and night are precisely equal, and that equality makes it a perfect month for LGBTQ Pride. It’s also time for Jupiter Retrograde. Use this time to think things through. Are you out of control? Don’t answer that. You are. Stop it. Now. ¶ Mercury Retrograde ends June 22. Deal with those pesky mistakes we just talked about. ¶ June 24 is the last “Super Moon” of 2021. Expect it to shine a light on something that needs fixed in your life and a shift in communication with someone important. Expect to be woke AF. It’s all about being woke, right? ARIES Mar. 21 - Apr. 20 Things seem extra-dramatic this month. Expect a big shift in your social circle; this isn’t a bad thing. On June 14 Saturn and Uranus align, and that can be dicey. Don’t be averse to change. TAURUS April. 21 - May 20 It’s all about money this month, all because of Mercury. It’s all confusing. Financial paperwork, checks gone astray, uncomfortable conversations about money–but aren’t they always uncomfortable? GEMINI May 21 - June 21 You like a little bit of drama in your life. Birthday Gems need to buckle down with a project because success doesn’t happen overnight. Something you’ve been lusting for just “happens.” How? Well, Neptune had something to do with it. CANCER June 22 - July 22 The Solar Eclipse brings some soulsearching connecting you to some deep feels. Birthday Cancers see the Sun move into their sign on the Solstice and that spells success. Got something to say? Don’t hold back. Let it all out. Well, most of it. 62

JUNE/JULY 2021

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22 Say “Hello” to Mars who motivates you to bring some real passion and strength into your life. Make sure you don’t get too pushy — this goes for power tops or bossy bottoms. VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sep. 22 Feeling a little confused because of delays? Take a deep breath. Fine tune your goals. Destiny says that you’re getting a proposition that could change everything. Including dinner. LIBRA Sep. 23 - Oct. 22 Super hot Venus says to examine ways you’ve been neglected. Pamper yourself. Eat a popsicle. Demand that you be serviced from stem to stern. Wow. You’re demanding, aren’t you? SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov.23 Mars and Pluto are going at it. Ego trips are a dead end. Use your charisma and powers of persuasion and you’ll appear modest and then the world will be yours, all yours. SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 - Dec. 23 High vibrational forces are at work. Expect connections: at work, at home, in the bedroom, and soon you’ll have a connecting flight from the airport to somewhere that’s a big surprise. CAPRICORN Dec. 23 - Jan. 20 After the Solar Eclipse on the 10th it’s a good time to make some lifestyle improvements. Pull your power dynamics out of hiding. (We’d love to see where you hide them.) AQUARIUS Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Heads up! There’s a powerful realization heading your way. Expect a major “moment” with your creative endeavors. When Saturn clashes with Uranus you rewrite your own rules. PISCES Feb. 20 - Mar. 20 Following someone else’s advice spells trouble for you. They have your best interests at heart, but they don’t know what they’re talking about. Make sure you on’t borrow any money. Don’t lend any, either. (Can I borrow ten dollars?)
