Original Note:
This is false. The original falsehood began during the trial as potential legal defense, a "gay panic" strategy. The killer isn't gay not that there's anything wrong w/ that. In addition, the lead investigator as well as the court shot down the drug deal gone awry theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2013/09/26/far-right-embraces-book-rewrites-matthew-shepard-case
