Matthew Shepard was murdered by a former homosexual lover. HE WAS NOT MURDERED BY A CONSERVATIVE. The sexual weirdo community knew the truth and put out and stood behind a lie because they wanted to express their hatred of white heterosexual men by 'Jussie Smolletting' them - a fake hate crime.
That's how the play should be presented - tell the truth - tell the story of how a lie by the sexual weirdo community against innocent straight men was used to push a political agenda.
