Another "Victim"

9/29/16 CBS Los Angeles:

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com)  —   The  LA County District Attorney’s office has filed a felony vandalism charge against an online personality they said filed a fake police report and told authorities he had been beaten and attacked by three men in West Hollywood last June....

According to the felony complaint, McSwiggan damaged the car mirror and bumper of a vehicle on June 27. The defendant then is alleged to have falsely reported to police that he had been beaten by the vehicle’s driver and two other men, the DA said.

McSwiggan had several broken teeth in the “attack” and said three men gay bashed him outside the popular bar, The Abbey.  Officials said his wounds — he also needed stitches in his head — were self-inflicted. They said he used a pay phone inside the sheriff’s station to cause the damage to his face.

So, is this the result of growing up in a homophobic society?   He's 26. Homosexuality has beemn legal in California his entire life.  From living in L.A. until 1982, I can say with confidence that he has lived in one of the most gay-positive cities in America.  I am more inclined to see these repeated fake "gay-bashing" crimes as symptoms of an underlying cause of homosexuality: child sexual abuse which causes enormous self-esteem problems.
