OutSFL Presents Pageant to Celebrate Local Drag Community
"The Inaugural Mz OutSFL Pageant is Saturday, May 18, at Sunshine Cathedral, and will be more than a night of top entertainers, it will make a huge difference in the lives of the next generation of LGBTQ youth.
“The main purpose of the event is to raise scholarship funds for LGBTQ students in South Florida,” OutSFL CEO Justin Wyse said. “The main goal of focusing the fundraising around a pageant is to highlight the drag artist community.”
Queen of Queens Melissa St. John is hosting the night, and the event will benefit the fund. Over the course of her fabulous 40 plus year career, she has raised more than $2 million for various causes, and OutSFL’s pageant will raise money for scholarships.
“I am humbled by the recognition bestowed upon me by OutSFL Newspaper and Magazine. Because of OutSFL's generosity,” she said. “I am further emboldened to work even harder to raise funds for the educational needs of future LGBTQ college students through the scholarship established by OutSFL in my name. If you ask me if I feel love, my answer is simple: yes, I do!”

Court of Queens
St. John named "Queen of Queens"
Melissa St. John was named OUTSFL Newspaper and Magazine’s first inductee into the media group’s newly established Court of Queens. The honor was awarded by OUTSFL’s co-owner and CEO Justin Wyse and drag superstar Velvet Lenore on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at the Lake Worth Playhouse as part of the Ruby Royale tribute show honoring St. John’s 40 years of drag excellence and community service.
In selecting the iconic St. John as the first member of the Court of Queens, the royal moniker of “Queen of Queens” was bestowed upon her. She will reign supreme as the matriarch of the Court of Queens going forward.
The Court of Queens was created by OUTSFL as a way to recognize the efforts of female illusionists who mentor the next generation of drag performers as both entertainers and LGBTQ community leaders.
New members of the Court of Queens will be honored annually as a prelude to the Mizz OUT South Florida Pageant. The Mizz OUT South Florida Pageant will be held at Fort Lauderdale’s Sunshine Cathedral on Saturday, May 18, 2024 and is open to any Drag Queen, Transgender Female, or Female Identifying individual that performs as a Female Impersonator.
The Court of Queens and the Mizz Out South Florida Pageant further affirms Out South Florida Newspaper and Magazine’s commitment to supporting both the drag and LGBTQ communities in South Florida.
