Did you hear about the lesbian Tamalpais High School student who was pelted with eggs, had her locker and car vandalized, and has been flooded with handmade hate messages? The words “Die Fag” were spray painted on her school’s wall.

The incidents sparked outrage among the school’s students, teachers, and administrators, who came together for an anti-hate vigil.

Well, the perpetrator has been suspended–the lesbian “victim,” who admitted to police that she faked the incidents to garner attention:

A 17-year-old top female wrestler at a local high school faked a series of gay-bashing incidents that prompted a police investigation, authorities said.

The rash of gay-bashing incidents at Tamalpais High School, dating to November, was the work of a student who claimed she was the victim of hate crimes, said police Capt. James Wickham.

The teen, who was not identified by police, admitted that she was the perpetrator of the incidents, which included defacing her own car, authorities said.

The student has been suspended.

She was not arrested, but police said the case would be referred to the district attorney for review.

The Los Angeles Times headline does not mention the sexual orientation of the hoaxer, but does describe the sexual orientation of the targeted student. Sound familiar?

It is not clear from the article if the hoaxer was also responsible for anonymous threats made to gay Tam High teachers.

The school’s principal, Chris Holleran, said students will have the opportunity to receive counseling about the matter.

The victimhood cult marches on.
