Little Known Fact

If you took freshman psych, you've read about Kitty Genovese. In 1964, she was raped and murdered in Kew Gardens, Queens, three doors down from where she lived. 38 people watched the attack take place. These people watched her get stabbed and raped and heard her scream "Oh my god, he stabbed me, please help me. I'm dying. I'm dying." No one ran to her rescue, no one called the police.

This case is used as an example of the "someone-will-do-something-so-I-don't-have-to" phenomena. Apathy.

So, this is not news. BUT. Did you know that Kitty Genovese was a lesbian?

I didn't and maybe it's immaterial. But still, there it is.
