SAN FRANCISCO - Move over Dykes on Bikes. Here come the brides -- and grooms. Given San Francisco's sizable role in initiating the lawsuits that led California's highest court to strike down the state's bans on same-sex marriage, the city's 38th annual gay pride festival and parade is likely to draw huge crowds this weekend, tourism officials say.

Getting AIDS Back into the Conversation
I've never been much for gay pride month - for my part, I like guys during all the months - but June also happens to be the month when, 27 years ago, scientists published the first account of the disease that came to be known as AIDS.
