Was Matthew Shepard in a church trying to get married when he was killed?

I dont get how a single murder is expanded into a civil rights struggle. How is this guy even related to gay marriage? There have been white people murdered simply for being white the same is true for every group in this country. I simply cannot accept a single crime as a basis for beating up old ladies and hate crimes against Mormons. Were blacks justified when they beat Reginald Denny over the Rodney King beating? When you think about who the aggressor is in this situation its clear democracy is the victim.Was Matthew Shepard in a church trying to get married when he was killed?
No, he was just being a human being and was murdered for who he was.Was Matthew Shepard in a church trying to get married when he was killed?
WTF!





How do you associate Matthew Shepard with gay marriage? I haven't seen this, do you have a link?





Assault is assault anyone who commits assault should go to jail, period. Race, gender, sexual preference all totally irrelevant!
That's right. You don't get it and never will.





You have no right to utter the name of Matthew Shepard if you don't know how or why he was murdered.





May all of your children and grandchildren be gay.


Amen.
nope - gay marriage was against the law then and it is against the law in 48 states.





There is never a justification for violence
The boy was in a Bar, Intoxicated, and he came on to the wrong Man ! He got what he was asking for !





(I did not say he got what he deserved, but what he asked for.)

Who's Matthew Shepard?
No, he was on the prowl in a public bar.
No he wasn't. Gays are just sick of taking everyones crap. Gays deserve every right and freedom that everyone else in the nation has, including the rights of marriage and the right to not be beaten to death because of who you are.


What type of country claims to give everyone freedom and equal protection under the law, but so clearly discriminates against its' people?
Please explain to me why gays are exempt from human rights. Everyone regardless of color deserves them.
