A gay Central Michigan University professor has pleaded guilty for falsely claiming that a random guy at a Toby Keith concert called her a “cross-dressing fag,” punched her in the face and spat on her.
The man began hurling a rich tapestry of obscene slurs at Poindexter, she told police.
Later that night, the professor said, the same man ambushed her in the parking lot of The Cabin — a local bar.
The man thumped Poindexter in the eye, she said, and spat on her.
Poindexter, who announced her lesbianism three years ago and has since been passionate about it, later posted a Facebook photo of herself with an impressive black eye and a corresponding story of indignant outrage.
That post went viral and was reported by several news outlets.
Much pity ensued.
“We’re proud of you, Mari, for taking a stand,” taxpayer-funded Central Michigan University officials wrote on the school’s Facebook page. “CMU stands with you.”
Turns out, Poindexter got the shiner because she “punched herself in the eye,” according to local police.
Investigators sat down with her to review security footage from the bar to identify the man, court documents say.
Then, when the investigators informed Poindexter that there was also surveillance footage of the parking lot, she became anxious.
She said she was no longer interested in viewing any video which might incriminate her assailant.
...The tall tale Poindexter told is the latest in a long series of hate crime hoaxes perpetrated by gay people...
Lots of hateful hoaxes here.
