In February, students at the University of British Columbia raised the multi-colored pride flag on campus to participate in the school’s week long celebration of gender and sexual diversity.

A few days later, the flag was burned, and many were calling it a hate crime, taking to social media to register their disgust and upset.

Guess who did it?

Authorities soon found a suspect: 31-year-old UBC student Brooklyn Marie Fink.

The catch? Fink identifies as a transsexual woman.

Every time I hear a so-called hate crime, I am suspicious of it.

They students were outraged that the flag was burned with one commentor stating that it equated to burning the people it represented. I bet they wouldn't feel this same way if it was a U.S. or Canadian flag that was being burned.

I'm thinking we need a FAKE HATE CRIME section of CC.
