The media pushed the story that Matthew Shepard was killed for being a sodomite. It enraged all the right people. But was he really killed for being a sodomite?
Jimenez’s “The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard,” out last month, challenges every cultural myth surrounding Shepard’s short life and unspeakable death. After some 13 years of digging, including interviews with more than 100 sources, including Shepard’s killers, Jimenez makes a radioactive suggestion:
The grisly murder, 15 years ago this month, was no hate crime.
Shepard’s tragic and untimely demise may not have been fueled by his sexual orientation, but by drugs. For Shepard had likely agreed to trade methamphetamines for sex. And it killed him.
Heresy.
Why dredge this up now? Jimenez’s answer surprised me.
“As a gay man,” he said, “I felt it was a moral thing to do.”
...But Jimenez insists he’s willing to trade Shepard’s irreproachable image for a serious talk about drugs. Meth, he said, is haunting the gay scene, bringing with it a plague of ultra-violence, new HIV infection — and gay-bashing.
End quote.
According to the story, Jimenez has also been blackballed even by his own industry, proving yet again how liberals, particularly homosexual activists, are hypocrites with double standards. Forget free speech especially for a journalist. They will push and bully their agenda as far as they can, without considering they might be wrong. It's not a matter of the truth of a matter ---its all about an agenda, pure and simple.
