Reddit reviews The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard

The facts are irrelevant, what was necessary for the narrative was what mattered.

Here's an article by The Guardian, and a book written on the subject.

Wikipedia has this to say about the book:

> Many commentators have criticized Jimenez's views on the attack as being sensational and misleading; those views were shared by gay advocacy organizations and cultural critics.[43][44][45][46][39] Some commentators, however, have spoken up to defend it.[47] Some police who were involved in the investigation have criticized Jimenez' conclusions,[48][49] while other police said that there was evidence that drugs were at least one factor that led to the murder.[10]

There's arguments both ways.

It's been proposed, and if you look at the evidence it's pretty obvious, by a gay scholar that Shepard was killed over drugs. Not homophobia. And his murder was by another gay man.

Edit: Fine, since you fuckers wanna keep downvoting me: Stephen Jimenez went to Laramie to research the story of Matthew Shepard’s murder in 2000, after the two men convicted of killing him had gone to prison, and after the national media had moved on. His aim was to write a screenplay on what he, and the rest of the nation, believed to be an open-and-shut case of bigoted violence. As a gay man, he felt an added moral imperative to tell Matthew’s story. But what Jimenez eventually found in Wyoming was a tangled web of secrets. His exhaustive investigation also plunged him deep into the deadly underworld of drug trafficking. Over the course of a thirteen-year investigation, Jimenez traveled to twenty states and Washington DC, and interviewed more than a hundred named sources.

Also, to remain on topic...refute this book

Matthew Shepard was a meth dealer and was having a sexual relationship with one of the men who killed him. I would refer you to the book, The Book of Matt by Steve Jiminez (a gay author) where his investigation into the hate crime yielded startling revelations that the crime was not really motivated by hate for homosexuals but by the motivation of greed. The book chronicles how Matt came into a large quantity of meth and was unwilling to share with his boyfriend/dealer.

Well unfortunately they don't have a very good track record, each time someone does lie and manufacture outrage for the LGBT movement it derides any credibility the movement was gaining.

Did you hear that an investigation in Matt Shepard's murder shows that it wasn't about him being gay at all. It sounds more like he was killed in a robbery for drugs and money gone bad, and that he had previously slept with his attacker. MSM is largely killing the story, but the Gay media isn't ignoring it and the author himself is gay as well.

Edit: I should have been more clear. There is a book about it, the author who is gay did not set out to disprove anything but this the story he found when he investigated.
