Original Note:
Matthew Shepherd’s murder was almost certainly not a hate crime, and was not motivated by anti-gay animus. It was most likely related to a drug trafficking deal; Shepherd was set to receive a $10,000 shipment of methamphetamine around the time of his death. https://reason.com/2023/10/12/matthew-shepards-murder-was-almost-certainly-not-an-anti-gay-hate-crime/
