It means, Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered because he was a homosexual.
Some people hate homosexuals sooooo much, that they are going out of their way to say mean things about him, or to play down the horror of what happened to him.
Matthew Shepard didn't rape and murder Jesse Dirkhising, it's abominable to tie him to that crime. And Farah does it so you won't have sympathy for the victim of a similarly brutal murder.
Why doesn't Farah include the details of what Shepard suffered, when he writes these articles? Ask yourself that. Because to Joe Farah, Matthew Shepard was a subhuman and what he suffered doesn't matter at all. His suffering didn't matter at all. Which is why it's okay to lie about it (and claim it was the result of a robbery-gone-wrong).
I look at that, and I see hate.
Because, Thats not what the man is trying to do at all, The fact is two boys were murdered and the news media coverage of the Shepard case rivaled that of 9/11/01 while on the other hand, coverage of the Dirkhising case is swept under the rug(so as to not shed a bad light on homosexual behavior) and ignored. See the difference? Thats the scope of the mans message.
Because to Joe Farah, Matthew Shepard was a subhuman and what he suffered doesn't matter at all. His suffering didn't matter at all.
You got the story backwards, Seems like Jessies death and suffering is the one that doesn't matter at all.
BTW If you had to choose to die like either one of these boys, Tell us which way would you choose to die? Like Matthew? Or like Jessie? Additionally, Why should one get national hero status with full media blitz and the other be totally IGNORED?
What is it about the 20/20 report that you dispute?

Why is it okay to associate an assault on a homosexual with everyone who speaks out against homosexuality? Do you not believe that people can hate the sin but love the sinner?
M.S. was NOT murdered "because he was "gay". Were you asleep
when ABC interviewed the men who were there -who murdered
the lost boy? Meth and a lifestyle consistant with drug
abuse is what was behind the murder. That M.S. tried to
parlay sex for drugs was consistant with a favored practice
of those decieved by that lifestyle of self and social
destruction. Had it not been for drug abuse--and a stupid
confusion on the cruisers part--thinking sex and gay sex
would convert the druggies to his lifestyle is whatled to
that brutality.Why we need continue the War on drugs.Why
we do not need special class protection for a chosen lifestyle of self destruction.
Waiting for your insightful response to those who question your pov. Maybe Farah doesn't include "the details of what Shepard suffered," because most Americans have HAD IT RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS BY THE MSM SINCE THE DAY IT HAPPENED YOU MORON!
The only lie here is the one you homosexuals perpetuate. You should know above all that homosexuals turn to drug use to escape the filth and degradation they feel day in, day out because of their life choices.
Shepard was an HIV ridden methamphetamine addict hanging out with that kind ilk. He got beat up because McKinney was in a methamphetamine rage, something common with that kind of drug use…but don’t let that FACT detour you from your victim hood; your perversion needs that to justify your abomination.
BTW, McKinney is "bi-sexual", why would he beat up one of his/your own?
