He was killed in a drug deal gone bad, and they made him a saint. Now his ashes are being buried in The National Cathedral in DC?

Un-fricking-believeable!

I thought he was a drug dealer?

The fact that the media is still talking about the death of a single gay men 20 years later speaks volumes of what a non problem violence against homosexuals is.

We all note that all of us capable of reading know that Sheppard was a drug dealer.

Now, since the low-T and IQ broadcast crowd does not know this, it would appear that perhaps they have a thinking problem.

“His life ended a few days later, and with it came a widespread awareness of the dangers that members of the LGBTQ community face every day.”

Yeah. Like the three gay church members that attended church with Obama.

Absolutely NOTHING in this story about the fact that he was actually killed in a drug deal. Yet they have a link to a 2004 ABC News story on just that aspect.

After skimming and searching the article, I see no reason for this being posted in Breaking News (no mention of his ashes or the National Cathedral)...

He was killed in a drug deal gone bad
That's the bottom line. He was kiled by his "friends" who were just as gay as him. Tragic, but it had NOTHING absolutely NOTHING to do with "homophobia". This tragedy could've been used as a, I HATE this smarmy phrase, teachable moment as to the consequences of messing with drugs.

This blood libel against Christians and conservatives is no different than Nero blaming Christians for burning down Rome.

The day will come when these liars will be held accountable for their crimes.

“Everybody he met, he said, ‘Just to let you know ahead of time, I’m gay,’” Dennis Shepard said.

Typical pathological egocentrism of this sort.

What do you expect? Harvey Milk, de facto pedophile and cultist sympathizer, (dis-)graces a taxpayer-funded USPS stamp, and has a holiday and an airport named after him, as I recall.
