Original Note:
Matthew Shepard was apparently a meth-addicted male prostitute who was being robbed of a drug shipment by a sex partner. The public reaction may have had some benefits, but his death was clearly not a homophobic hate crime. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/26/the-truth-behind-americas-most-famous-gay-hate-murder-matthew-shepard
