Tell me the Matthew Shepard story was it a bad drug deal? I name drop that when I see fags trolling..regardless of the actual story, fags get the point.
In 2013, investigative journalist Stephen Jimenez, himself gay, wrote The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard. The book upended a canonized narrative the public has grown familiarly comfortable with, irrespective of its sensationalized macabre details.
In reading Jimenez’s book, we shockingly learn that Shepard is a fictive narrative. Jimenez posits that Shepard’s murder had nothing to do with his sexual orientation, but rather his involvement in the deadly underworld of Laramie, Wy.’s crystal methamphetamine drug trafficking. Jimenez writes that Shepard was not only a user; he was also a courier who had plans just before his death to drive a shipment of meth.
“I learned that Matthew had been a user of meth. And from everything I was able to trace, Matthew got into meth in a serious way when he was living in Denver before he moved to Laramie,” Jimenez stated in an NPR interview with Rachel Martin of “Weekend Edition.”
According to Jimenez, Shepard’s murderers were not strangers — one is a bisexual crystal meth addict who not only knew Matthew, but partied, bought drugs from and had sex with Matthew. With this “new” information, a more textured but troubling narrative emerges.
In a 2004 episode of “20/20,” investigative journalist Elizabeth Vargas also reported that money and drugs motivated Shepard killers’ actions and not homophobia. However, many immediately discredited the episode once finding out that Jimenez was its producer. I honestly believe this to be the actual narrative. 20/20 even reported on it because even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Cool thanks for the detailed reply. It doesn’t really matter after all this time, but There is big deep money pushing the gay agenda, that would prefer not to tie homosexual/meth behavior to this incident. I’ve fallen into a few Ed Buck rabbit holes, tptb want the public to only know the cute-sy sweet anime, gays would never, narrative.
“As tragic as it is, and as unfortunate as it is, and as hard as it is for Matthew’s family, and for my family, for all of us, to go through, it opened up all of us to be better people and really think about who we are,” Henderson said of Shepard’s death in a prison interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.
Still, he insisted, neither he nor Aaron McKinney was motivated by anti-gay hatred when they offered Shepard a ride home from a bar. Instead, he said, they were out to rob him of money and possibly drugs when they drove him to the edge of town on the night of Oct. 6, 1998
