What’s sad is that Matthew Shepard wasn’t even Matthew Shepard, at least as far as the story line that was told goes. IIRC, it turned out that the Shepard murder, while tragic, was a robbery gone bad, rather than a “hate crime.”

Never stops the Left from trying to exploit a tragedy, however.

The story of the quiet violin player ... and porn star.

How uncloseted.

The media made it though as a hate crime, because he was gay

“Matthew Shepard wasn’t even Matthew Shepard”

I was going to say the exact same thing!

Matthew Shepard killed in non-bias “robbery,” Foxx says

North Carolina Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx  is questioning whether the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay University of Wyoming student, was a bias attack motivated by his sexual orientation. 

Shepard’s mother Judy was in the gallery at the time, according to a senior Democratic aide.

The socially conservative Foxx, arguing against a new Democratic hate crimes bill that includes new protections for gays and lesbians, described the description of Shepard’s murder as a anti-homosexual attack a “hoax” — and questioned whether prior bias crime legislation should have been named after him.

Tyler Clementi had an "older man" over to his room. Certainly someone somewhere knows who this guy is.

Why aren't we hearing from him?

“...and is likely to do far greater damage to legions of children yet to wrestle with the fluid issue of one’s sexual practices, before settling into traditional sexual orthodoxy by about 98% of them.”’

Back in the 1980’s I predicted violence against gays increasing with time. Shoving this perversion in the faces of children before their identities are ‘set’ will produce chaos.

Maybe because he is the reason for the suicide.

...IMHO Tyler’s room mate got tired of having to get out while Tyler took over the room for his trysts...so he bugged the room as as payback...things went bad from there.

Every time I notice a thread that mentions Matthew Shepard I am going to link the story of the Murder of Jesse Dirkhising that was barely mentioned at the time of the Shepard killing.

Obviously the author has not seen nor heard about Tyler’s own pornographic webcasts...

If there was as much outrage over 1.3 million abortions in the U.S.A. each year as 1 ashamed queer.

While this article has some very good points it ignores that Tyler Clementi did his own pornographic webcasts. This point changes the narrative the press is pushing. And we have yet to hear from the "older" man that was with Clementi. Who is he?

Shepard doesn't count as it was a robbery and the recent stories are suicides. So, what violence?

This attempt to do so from the likes of U.S. Senator Robert Menendez to Dr. Phil has greater heartache to the Clementi family, and is likely to do far greater damage to legions of children yet to wrestle with the fluid issue of one's sexual practices, before settling into traditional sexual orthodoxy by about 98% of them.

Word salad alert! We don' need no steenkin' syntax!

This guy is one of the *worst* writers. He ought to be too embarassed to publish without professional editing.
