Kern: Go back to the closet
She was kinda asking for it with that book title.

When Bob Dylan said they’ll stone you when you’re trying to keep your seat, he may have been talking about state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City.
Life, Above All
In ‘Life, Above All,’ the impact of AIDS is rarely stated, but often heard.
Drama
Phil Bacharach
AIDS is rarely mentioned in “Life, Above All.” It’s referred to obliquely — a “bug,” “the other thing” — but its grim presence is always felt. When a character finally does call it by name, late in the movie, the effect is startling.
Walk this way
This Sunday’s AIDS Walk marks the 30th anniversary of the first diagnosed case of the disease.
'Angels' watching over me
Jan Tindale’s “The Rant” is among the saturday, ongoing pieces on display in “Angels and Altars.”
Visual Arts

Documentary
Phil Bacharach
It would have been understandable had “We Were Here” veered into the maudlin. The documentary, which recounts how San Francisco’s gay community united in the 1980s to combat the AIDS epidemic, has its share of gut-wrenching stories. But the film is admirably no-frills.

Prescription marijuana has become a legitimate business, at least in 16 states, where it is legal. Among those reaping profits are six brothers originally from Shawnee — Joel, Jesse, Jonathan, Jordan, Jared and Josh Stanley — who now reside in Colorado, where they grow and sell their harvest of medical cannabis.
