Are you implying that the men who killed Matthew Shepard are somehow indicative of the culture of rural America? I hope not. I have lived in many different places within the U.S....from Virginia to New mexico and up into North Dakota. I can tell you that some of the nicest and well-mannered people I have ever met lived in rural Tennessee.
Remember Jesse Dirkhising a teen who was brutally tortured, raped and murdered by a monogamous 'gay couple'. Never let them forget
