As Americans across the country prepared to take part in a weekend of gay pride celebrations last Friday, Mollie Olgin and her girlfriend Mary Kristene Chapa, gay teenagers in a small Texas town, were gunned down and left for dead in the tall grass of a local park.
Olgin – a 19-year-old who hoped to one day become a psychologist and had just finished her first semester of college – died at the scene. Chapa, who is 18 years old, is currently in intensive care.
