LGBT Teen Who Committed Fake Hate Crimes Against Herself 10 Years Ago Speaks
Out
This is likely a story you only noticed or cared about if you were a)
growing up in Marin in 2004-05, or b) paying close attention to LGBT hate-
crime news, but it did make some national headlines at the time. It goes
like this: A senior at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, who was an out
lesbian and co-president of the school's Gay Straight Alliance, was the
victim of a rash of anti-gay vandalism in the fall of 2004 for which no
suspects were ever identified. Epithets were scrawled on her locker and the
side of her car, and then the attacks grew more threatening, with eggs
thrown at her, and death threats. The school rallied behind her, holding a
vigil and talking a lot about tolerance. Ultimately, several gay teachers at
the school, who were not out to their students, received cryptic,
threatening voicemails from a disguised voice in the spring of 2005. Tracing
those calls lead Marin police to identify the culprit, who was the girl
herself. She faced charges. Her friends and the rest of the community
disowned her. The case made plenty of local news headlines. Now, ten years
later, a BuzzFeed reporter who went to school with the unidentified girl
tracked her down at her Bay Area home where she lives with her wife, and got
her talking about the incident.
At the time, the resolution of the story was pretty unsatisfying. "She did
admit to police that it was basically for attention," said the school
superintendent. Ten years on, the explanation from the woman who was that
attention-starved girl is a little more nuanced. First of all, she was drunk
on cough medicine. A lot. Also, the day it all started, she was mostly
trying to get out of going to class because she hadn't done her homework.
The principal immediately let her go home when a janitor spotted the word '
FAG' scrawled on her locker.
"I was like, Sweet. I went home and did my homework.” She puffs air between
her freckled cheeks and meets my eyes, summarizes: “I started a whole fake
hate-crime thing with the police so I didn’t have to do my homework.”
...
Each time she committed another crime, she says, “It was a little like
pressure-release valve.’”
“Imagine someone was like, ‘You have zero responsibility now.’” In her
voice, I can still hear a glimmer of how incredible she found this effect.
She could go to school if she wanted. She could still play sports. Her mom,
friends, teachers, and coaches rallied around her, told her how much they
loved her: “All that shit that you just wish somebody would have said
without there being an explicit reason to.”
As for why she decided to place the threatening calls to gay teachers, which
ultimately got her caught...
“It was probably about calling them out,” she admits. “None of our
teachers were really out. Even ones we knew were gay. You definitely got a
sense like they wanted to let you know, very old-school gay code shit where
you drop hints about things but you never come out and say it. It’s kind of
fucked up to be on the other end of that as a gay person, like, ‘Oh, we
can’t talk about this.’” But she insists she didn’t do what she did out
of a spirit of activism. Her motives were totally selfish: “If I put us two
steps forward, I definitely took us 10 steps backward.”
The story, unfortunately, is not unique, and because of the media's
sensitivity around LGBT issues and intolerance, the temptation for the
dishonest to get attention for such stories can be great. There have been
numerous incidents of faux hate crime in the last few years that have
received wide attention on social media, only to be debunked — e.g. the
lesbian waitress in New Jersey who wrote that fake note on a customer's bill
denying her a tip. And the more such incidents there are, the more fuel
there is for right-wing blogs to suggest that anti-bigotry is all in our
lefty imaginations.
But, ultimately, the story of Marin's great hate-scare of 2004 was just one
of teenage impulsiveness and stupidity. The woman looking back on her crimes
is a teacher now, dealing with kids every day, and she seems to have
forgiven herself. And, despite the reporter's seriousness about it all, it
was really only dramatic for the people in the middle of it all.
