This was not a hate crime......

President Clinton was about to sign the "Hates Crime Bill" and the LGBT community jumped on the bandwagon. Read "The Book Of Matthew". An investigative journalist (Who, himself , is gay) went back to Laramie and the truths started finally coming out. IE- BIG Meth town. Matthew sold Meth. Matthew knew his killer as they had both been having a sexual relation with one another......and so much more. Yes, it is very sad. But do not believe everything the media tells you to break your hearts.

They killed him because of their homophobia. It was a hate crime. So what if Matthew sold meth (wherever that came from)? That has nothing to do with the fact that he was murdered in cold blood.

Matthew was killed by his on/off lover over drugs, not his sexuality. Matthew did not deserve it by any means, but the hate crime narrative is a fairy tale.

Henderson claimed gay panic as defense in an attempt to get some sort of insanity plea. The police went along with the hate crime narrative because they didn't want to admit their failure to control the growing meth problem in Laramie. The Gay Grievance Industry went along with the hate crime narrative because it gives them excuses to demonize people who don't support them, and use the state to bully people into celebrating their lifestyle.

Hmm. I've never heard this theory. What are your sources.
