A lesbian couple faked a hate crime that left their home a pile of charred rubble at their Venore, Tenn., property in 2010, local reports said.
An insurance company caught on to the ruse months after the blaze and accused Carol Ann and Laura Stutte of perpetuating a hoax and blaming the fire on their neighbor, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
A federal jury ruled in favor of the insurance company’s belief that the couple spray-painted an anti-gay slur on their own garage to spin the fire as a hate crime based on their sexual orientation.
The homeowners intended to bank on an insurance claim of more than $276,000, American National and Casulty Company alleged in court documents obtained by the News Sentinel.
The target of their stunt was Janice Millsaps, a neighbor whom the Stuttes accused in news reports and a lawsuit of threatening to kill them and burn their house down.
“Do you know what is better than one dead queer? Two dead queers,” is what the Stuttes accused Millsap of saying one month before the Sept. 4 blaze that destroyed their home.
The word "queers" was scrawled across their garage during the fire.

Let the games begin with this group.
It seems the vast majority of "hate crime vandalism" turns out to be perpetrated by the "victim". Really discredits their claims to be so oppressed and harassed.
Mentally deficient...
Straight people don't have the market cornered on nasty, criminal people, obviously. I hope part of the settlement is a public apology to the woman they slandered.
Just clearly demonstrates the gay & lesbian agenda coupled with their perversion, abomination, immorality and depravity. A sick lifestyle that should be illegal and then eradicated from the face of the planet!!
Gayness is a mental defect
They hate themselves; hence they committed the crime against themselves.
They now wallow in their own hate.
Problem solved.
