Dig Into Sleater-Kinney By Amy RaNae Wilson
“We weren’t told that it was going to be printed,” Corin Tucker says, her voice noticeably tightening. “We didn’t know until it was on the stands.”
“It” was the fact that Tucker, twenty-four, and Carrie Brownstein, front-women of fast-rising Northwest band Sleater-Kinney, had briefly dated a few years back. Suddenly, this item had become available at every newsstand across the nation, courtesy of SPIN magazine. “We weren’t asked about our personal lives in the interview,” Tucker continues, “We talked about things we thought were really important, and what they printed was that we dated. It just came out as being gossip.”
That mid-1996 gossip was merely a “pain in the ass” for Tucker, who came out to her family when she was nineteen, but Brownstein’s situation was more delicate – her family had been totally unaware she was bisexual “It was something that I’d been planning [to tell them] when it felt like the right time. The process was rapidly sped up for me with the aid of a national magazine,” recalls Brownstein, twenty-two, with a small laugh that doesn’t entirely cover the pain the experience caused her. “It’s fine now, and my family is very supportive . . . it’s just not the way I wanted to go about doing it.”

Labels are pretty annoying, but if she identifies herself as bisexual then why should it then be changed to lesbian?--xsarahberries 04:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that must have been a typo in the original article, or the author was confused. Corrin Tucker is bisexual and is currently married (to a man, natch). I have never seen anything to indicate Carrie Brownstein is bisexual whatsoever -- she is a lesbian. I think the quote from the article was misattributed and the names in the earlier sentences were swapped around.

Deleted "Briefly dated actor Tobey Maguire", as the only reference I could find was a rather dubious, single sentence here: http://connected.lot23.com/index.php?OldNodeID=2762&NodeID=2767 Feel free to revert if anyone has a reputable source
