Re: Matthew Shepard Murdered By Bisexual Lover And Drug Dealer, Stephen Jimenez Claim
Either way, gay people ARE killed and beaten up for being gay, aren't they?
Today? Not so much no....I am sure if you want to say that a gay person somewhere was beaten up because they were gay you could probably do so, but then again, I could say that somewhere a straight guy was beaten up by gays because they were straight also, its just that neither of us have no proof of this....Isn't using broad generalized statements fun?
I mean, years ago while riding around at night with guy friends (I was very young...you know how you hang out...and my boyfriend was there)...anyway, there were times where the guys (not my boyfriend) would joke about how they went gay bashing or were going to go gay bashing. They were talking about hunting down gays and beating them up. It's considered sport by some young men.
Oh, years ago eh? un huh....And how old were you crazy kids? 15? I think either they or you were talking out of another orifice...Further, anecdotal evidence means nothing other than your personal experience anyway, it certainly proves nothing, much less the motives on why Matthew Shepard was killed.
Skinheads and such like to ride around and hunt for minorities to beat up or kill.
Wow, you would think listening to you that it is a common occurrence...I can't remember the last time I heard about it in the news....In fact, I have heard of more cases in the news of young black men attacking white men based on skin color than I have instances of 'gay bashing' lately....Yours is an appeal to emotion, and as such a fail.
This is not an uncommon thing. I'm surprised you aren't aware of it. There was even a video recently of a guy in drag in Russian getting beaten up by non-gay males.
Why? because you say so..? Nah, it is not common, nor is the example you give even in this country....Let's stick to the topic shall we?
But I don't know much about the Shepherd case, really. Don't know why there would be a gag order for a criminal case.
So, you don't know much about the topic of the thread, but you just felt that you just had to jump in and give your own (I think totally made up) anecdotes, and assumptions, and false narratives? Tell you what, there are 27 pages of posts, start at the beginning, and read both sides, and you will have a pretty good idea, then come on back...Oh and don't forget to actually read the articles presented as they will give you an insight...
