Vigils for Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa

Two lesbian teenagers were shot this weekend by an unknown assailant in Portland, Texas.  Mollie Olgin, 19, has died, while Mary Kristene Chapa, 18, is in critical but stable condition at the hospital.  Authorities don't yet know the motivation behind the shooting.  But activists around the country are honoring the young couple and praying for Mary Kristene's recovery. We want to express our heartfelt sorrow and support for the victims and their families in this terrible time. Below are a few locations where you can attend a vigil for Mollie and Mary Kristene.
