Not the usual suspect: Student charged with burning pride flag explains motive in court

This February, students at the University of British Columbia raised the familiar rainbow-colored pride flag over campus as part of the school’s week-long “celebration of gender and sexual diversity.” Just days later, the flag was burned in what many called a hate crime.

Police soon announced they had identified a suspect, and on Tuesday, UBC student Brooklyn Marie Fink, 31, appeared in court for the first time. CBC News offered this update on the suspect:

Brooklyn Marie Fink, 31, who describes herself as transsexual, talked about the flag burning after her first court appearance in Richmond on Tuesday.

“As a media artist, I intended in burning the flag only to illustrate my displeasure at the university’s failure to come to an agreement on the fact of the flag’s offensiveness.”

So, a transsexual burned the pride flag because she found it offensive? Fink told CBC she does not feel included in the LGBT label.

Fink said the rising awareness about transgender people has made life more difficult for her, something she finds “really emotional, really stressful” to talk about.

“Ten, 12 years ago I was just a tall woman and nobody thought anything of it,” she said.

“But because these gender nonconformers are being so loud and proud … now everybody looks and they can see oh, that tall woman with a deep voice, maybe she’s a dude.”

Fink is due back in court on May 17 where she faces a charge of mischief.
