<strong>OCTOBER</strong> <strong>2024</strong> | <strong>THE</strong> <strong>FIGHT</strong> 5


In this issue Cory B. Savage, the founder of Creative Recovery LA,<br />

located in West Hollywood, talks to Mark Ariel about helping others on<br />

the path to wellness map out their journey through creativity (“Where<br />

Art Meets Healing,” pages 16-17).<br />

“We created Creative Recovery because we wanted to provide a safe<br />

space for others to heal and recover,” says Savage. “We know firsthand<br />

how hard it can be to find the right support and resources, and we wanted<br />

to create a program that would offer a holistic approach to recovery.<br />

Creative Recovery is a brand new initiative that combines clinical assessments<br />

with creative teams to help clients map out their journey through<br />

creativity, and address the suffering caused by trauma and addiction.”<br />

“Our program is designed to be highly personalized and adaptive<br />

to each client’s needs,” reveals Savage. When a client comes in, they’ll<br />

share their story with us, almost like a screenplay. We’ll then pair them<br />

with a clinical team and a creative team, who will work together to create<br />

a customized plan for their healing journey.”<br />

Creative Recovery LA is located at 8714 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 200,<br />

(above Fresh Corn Drill), in West Hollywood. Come celebrate their grand<br />

opening Saturday, Nov. 2, 5pm-9pm.<br />

Also in the issue — Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni<br />

Atkins explains why we need to vote yes on Proposition 3 (“Protecting<br />

Marriage Equality,” page 14).<br />

“Californians have long been champions of love, justice, and equality.<br />

Prop 3 is our chance to take action and prove that’s true. By passing this<br />

initiative, we are sending a clear message: in California, equality is nonnegotiable,”<br />

writes Atkins. “No matter what happens at the federal level,<br />

we will protect the right of every individual to marry the person they love,<br />

and we will defend our diverse and inclusive communities against any<br />

efforts to turn back the clock.”<br />

“LET’S COME<br />

TOGE<strong>THE</strong>R, VOTE<br />

YES ON PROP<br />

3, AND ENSURE<br />

THAT CALIFORNIA<br />

CONTINUES TO BE A<br />

PLACE WHERE LOVE<br />

ALWAYS WINS.”<br />

PROTECTING<br />

MARRIAGE<br />

EQUALITY<br />

Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus<br />

Toni Atkins on why we need Proposition 3<br />

Proposition 3, the initiative on the<br />

November ballot to protect marriage<br />

equality in California, is very<br />

personal to me.<br />

In 2008, the California Supreme Court<br />

ruled that <strong>LGBTQ</strong>+ people had the fundamental<br />

right to share a full, protected, and<br />

respected life with the person that they<br />

loved. It was then that I had the opportunity<br />

to marry my spouse, Jennifer. During that<br />

“Summer of Love,” I officiated more than<br />

eighteen marriage ceremonies as many of<br />

our friends rushed to get married — but this<br />

hopeful time came to a devastating end<br />

when Proposition 8 passed that November.<br />

The state of my marriage, and so many others,<br />

was in limbo.<br />

After many years and a handful of court<br />

cases later, marriage equality was legalized<br />

in California and across the country.<br />

However, as the overturning of Roe v Wade<br />

and ongoing attacks on the <strong>LGBTQ</strong>+ community<br />

make clear, there is still work to do<br />

BY SENATOR TONI ATKINS<br />

to protect marriage equality. That’s why we<br />

need Proposition 3.<br />

Proposition 3 removes outdated, discriminatory<br />

language from Prop 8 defining<br />

marriage as only between a man and a<br />

woman and replaces it with a provision that<br />

establishes the right to marry as fundamental<br />

in California. The Roe ruling was a<br />

wake-up call—a reminder that the fight for<br />

equality is far from over and that we must<br />

be proactive in safeguarding our freedom<br />

to marry. Proposition 3 is our chance to protect<br />

these Californian ideals. By enshrining<br />

the right to marry in our state constitution,<br />

Prop 3 will protect marriage for same-sex<br />

and interracial couples, should the right be<br />

overturned federally.<br />

Preserving marriage equality helps<br />

California continue to serve as a beacon<br />

of hope. As a young lesbian growing up in<br />

rural southwest Virginia, California represented<br />

a place where I could live authentically<br />

and have the opportunity to love<br />

freely. While today we may feel a sense of<br />

security, we cannot become complacent<br />

in our fight to protect our rights. In recent<br />

years, we’ve seen our hard-won rights<br />

come under threat from an increasingly<br />

conservative Supreme Court that seems<br />

willing to roll back critical civil rights protections.<br />

The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade<br />

in 2022 made it clear that even long-standing<br />

precedents can be undone, putting<br />

many rights—including marriage equality—at<br />

risk. Proposition 3 is our chance to<br />

safeguard our marriage rights in California,<br />

ensuring that our state remains committed<br />

to protecting freedom and equality for all.<br />

While marriage equality is at the heart of<br />

Prop 3, this initiative is about more than just<br />

securing the right to marry. It’s about affirming<br />

our values as a state and as a community.<br />

It’s about ensuring that California<br />

remains a place where everyone is treated<br />

with dignity and respect.<br />

Californians have long been champions<br />

of love, justice, and equality. Prop 3 is our<br />

chance to take action and prove that’s true.<br />

By passing this initiative, we are sending<br />

a clear message: in California, equality is<br />

non-negotiable. No matter what happens<br />

at the federal level, we will protect the right<br />

of every individual to marry the person they<br />

love, and we will defend our diverse and<br />

inclusive communities against any efforts to<br />

turn back the clock.<br />

As an <strong>LGBTQ</strong>+ lawmaker, I’m asking for<br />

your support—not just for me or for those<br />

who currently enjoy the right to marry, but<br />

for all future generations who deserve to<br />

know that their love, too, is valued. Let’s<br />

come together, vote YES on Prop 3, and ensure<br />

that California continues to be a place<br />

where love always wins.<br />

Senator Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) was the<br />

first <strong>LGBTQ</strong> person to lead the State Senate<br />

and the only woman to ever lead both houses<br />

of the legislature. Toni and her spouse<br />

Jennifer live in the South Park community of<br />

San Diego with their dogs, Joey and Mia.<br />

WeHo Mayor John Erickson.<br />

Leadership we can count on.<br />

Now, as the Supreme Court and Congress strip away our rights, we must count on effective<br />

local leaders to protect us—leaders like West Hollywood Mayor John Erickson. Since his<br />

election to the West Hollywood City Council in 2020, John Erickson has emerged as a<br />

statewide leader in the <strong>LGBTQ</strong>+ community. John has:<br />

• Lead the effort to expand statewide access to PrEP/PEP<br />

• Led efforts to save the iconic WeHo Log Cabin, the decades-old anchor<br />

and meeting place for the sober community<br />

• Created the drink-spiking test strip program which became State law<br />

• Sounded the alarm over lack of MPOX treatment and brought the first<br />

testing and vaccine clinic to West Hollywood<br />

• Authored the nation’s first municipal multi-stall, gender neutral bathroom<br />

law, leading to SB 1194 at the state level<br />

• Increased social service funding to <strong>LGBTQ</strong>+ community service providers<br />

• Worked with law enforcement to crackdown on hate crimes<br />

A DREAM<br />

COME TRUE<br />

Actor Van Hansis, who came out<br />

as gay in <strong>THE</strong> <strong>FIGHT</strong> in May 2014,<br />

lands role on iconic soap opera<br />

Actor Van Hansis has landed a new role<br />

on the long-running soap opera General<br />

Hospital. Hansis, 43, will play the character<br />

Lucas Jones, reports queerty.com.<br />

Jones first appeared as a child character back in<br />

the late 1990s. He’s been played by a handful of<br />

actors over the last 25 years, most notably Ryan<br />

Carnes between 2004-2005, 2014-2020, and<br />

briefly earlier this year.<br />

Hansis is best known for playing<br />

Luke Snyder on As<br />

the World Turns from<br />

2005-2010. He also<br />

starred in the fabulous,<br />

queer web<br />

series, Eastsiders,<br />

for which he won<br />

a Queerties<br />

award.<br />

He came out<br />

as gay in <strong>THE</strong><br />

<strong>FIGHT</strong> Magazine<br />

in May 2014, in an interview with his<br />

EastSiders costar and creator, Kit Williamson.<br />

“Being on General Hospital, I guess, is literally a dream come<br />

true,” Hansis told TV Insider. “But there was so much I got out of<br />

being on World Turns. It was my first job. There was so much, especially<br />

with the character, and I think I was just so young, I didn’t<br />

understand and I didn’t really appreciate that.”<br />

“Luke was one of the first gay male lead characters. With some<br />

time and some distance, I’m like, ‘Wow, that was a really cool experience,’<br />

but I was in the moment and it didn’t feel like how it feels now.”<br />

Regarding his character Lucas Jones on General Hospital, Hansis<br />

told TV Insider: “There are gay people in life so there should be gay<br />

people on soaps and queer people and trans people and all of that.<br />

So, the fact that it’s so ingrained and it’s not like ‘the gay character’<br />

or ‘the gay storyline’ feels really nice.”<br />

“<strong>THE</strong>RE ARE GAY PEOPLE IN LIFE<br />

SO <strong>THE</strong>RE SHOULD BE GAY PEOPLE<br />

ON SOAPS AND QUEER PEOPLE<br />

AND TRANS PEOPLE AND ALL OF<br />

THAT. SO, <strong>THE</strong> FACT THAT IT’S SO<br />

INGRAINED AND IT’S NOT LIKE ‘<strong>THE</strong><br />

GAY CHARACTER’ OR ‘<strong>THE</strong> GAY<br />

STORYLINE’ FEELS REALLY NICE.”<br />
