The attack was motivated by homophobia, not transphobia, and was against a (presumably) homosexual male, yet the story was still twisted to push points about trans, non-binary and "LGBT+". The mental gymnastics is astounding.

Yep, homosexual male who continually refers to "gay" and "sexual orientation".

News reporters, and of course, all the LGBT orgs are the ones saying he identifies as trans and changing pronouns to "she". I can't find evidence of him or the family saying it at all.

Look at how The Advocate even editorializes what his aunt said:

“[She] wanted to kill [herself] because they keep bullying [her]. Hearing that, it just makes me cry,’” said Sanford’s aunt Raquel Showers.
