“Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant: A Memoir” (Little, Brown, 2023) by Curtis Chin

This delicious memoir is as much about being a gay ABC (American-born Chinese) as it is about Detroit in the 1980s. Funny and eye-opening, this book is best not to be read on an empty stomach.

What is it about a DJ that allows them to have a lengthy and successful career? Aside from being a turntable master, knowing how to read and work a room and keep people dancing from sunset to sunrise, or being a top-notch remixer.

The ongoing biopic craze shows no signs of slowing down or stopping. In 2023, movies about Bayard Rustin, Diana Nyad, and Leonard Bernstein, are among the offerings (and of special interest to LGBTQ viewers). 

Broadway Fort Lauderdale brings us the most talked about show on Broadway, “Funny Girl,” and there’s a reason there’s so much buzz about this revival, and it’s not just the Broadway cast.

Queer comedians are funnier than they’ve ever been. From Wanda Sykes to Matteo Lane and Jessica Kirson to Jerrod Carmichael, they keep the non-stop laughs coming. There’s little doubt that Fortune Feimster is one of the funniest of the bunch. With two hilarious, full-length Netflix specials to her name – 2020’s “Sweet & Salty” and 2022’s “Good Fortune” – numerous acting roles, and a brand new live stand-up comedy tour, aptly titled “Live, Love, Laugh,” there’s plenty of Fortune to go around. A genuinely kind and thoughtful soul, Fortune made time for an interview before heading out on tour.

There was dancing, there was eating, and, of course, there was singing. The Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida (GMCSF) hit a high note with its first gala. The event, called Chic & Unique, hosted a crowd of chorus members and fellow music lovers.
