With conjecture? Not one link or shred of refutatory evidence. You wanna try that crap with someone else?
I could point out that this theory about Matthew Shepard's death came from one man interviewing almost entirely anonymous sources who Jimenez, author of "The Truth About Matt," pointed out were meth addicts. I could point to a letter written from jail by Matt Shepard's supposedly gay lover, Aaron McKinney, that talks about how much he hates gays. I could mention the interview by McKinney's girlfriend who is recorded as saying that McKinney and his buddy wanted to teach Shepard a lesson for being gay. I could point out that some of Jimenez's facts are directly contradicted by the lead investigator in the trial, Rob Debree.
But it won't have any impact. And the right will continue to rejoice that they havea new and extra fun way to bash gay people.
Which is why I said that arguing with novasteve is futile in the first place.
Yeah cherry picked quotes, third hand sources and hear say bullshit don't over-write one simple fact; Shephard was picked out of piles of records of dead gays and made into the poster boy of antigay hatred.
But they didn't pick a good one as the actual facts just get in the way of the myth.
And of course idiotlogues like you have to rush to the defense of your mythology.
You can't mess with the Shephard case. The gays view it as their holocaust.
