Mary Kristene Chapa survived a gunshot to the head, but her girlfriend wasn’t so lucky. Now Chapa is suing the man who killed her girlfriend and attempted to murder her, too, for $500 million. Personally, I think she deserves more. She was only 18 at the time; her girlfriend 19.

Kelly Osbourne talked with PrideSource about identifying as not super straight, but might also not understand bisexuality:
My whole rule is, never say never. I’ve never been in a relationship with a woman, but I don’t know that it’s not a possibility. But I also don’t like it when people claim to be gay and then not. There’s this whole generation of young Hollywood girls who can’t find love where they think it’s supposed to be, and then they come out being gay and two weeks later they have a boyfriend. It drives me nuts! I think it takes all the proactive work the LGBT community has done and sets them back. Oh, so now you’re gay? Then two weeks later: “Oh no, that was just a phase.” You don’t get to do that.

Alison Bechdel talked about her career and the Bechdel Test with MetroWeekly. On if “Fun Home” will be even turned into a film:
No, not that I know of. There’s the question of is it a movie based on the musical, or a movie based on the book. And I guess those would be very different projects. I don’t know. I mean, there was a film offer early on with the book that I basically declined. I felt like if a bad movie got made of it, it would just be awful, so I didn’t want to do it. But a bad musical, I figured, that would be no problem. Because if it was bad, it would just disappear, you know?
