For South Florida's queer community, the name Yoko Oso has become synonymous with boundary-pushing drag artistry. But on Aug. 17, the local performer will bid farewell to the nightlife scene with a special one-night-only show, “The Farewell Show,” marking a new chapter in her creative journey.

Even though “Sing Sing” (A24) features out actor Colman Domingo (giving another of his trademark Oscar-worthy performances) and tells the story of a sort of theater troupe, it is not a musical. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. “Sing Sing” is the kind of “feel good” movie that the Brits are so good at, as in the cases of “The Full Monty,” “Brassed Off,” “Billy Elliott,” and “Pride.”

If you have loved gay writer Tim Murphy’s books since his breathtaking 2016 breakthrough novel “Christadora” and its 2019 follow-up “Correspondents,” then you will be happy to know that his fourth novel, “Speech Team” (Viking, 2023) is being released in August. A powerful story about the consequences of words and a quest for restorative justice, “Speech Team” follows four high school classmates who reunite more than 20 years after graduation following the suicide of a fellow speech team member.

For the longest time, queer country and folk music fans didn’t have much good music by queer artists from which to choose. Sure, country music provided them with plenty of divas, including Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire, to worship. Willie Nelson was the closest thing to a leftie as could be found in the genre. Whereas, folk music was a bit more welcoming to both queer followers and performers.

West Palm Beach was in for a treat when it was announced that ‘90s hit makers SWV and Xscape were coming to the iTHINK Amphitheater. The ladies gave an amazing show that allowed fans to scratch their nostalgic itch.
