It’s an ai response but accurate if you look at stats. Certainly corresponds with my life experiences. I’ve known people who were attacked for being gay or in the case of my brother who came to see me where I was bartending, attacked because they thought he was gay coming out of a gay bar. Being beat up for being gay happens, being beaten up for being straight, not so much.


As for Mathew Sheppard, McKinney confessed to the police that he and his buddy pretended to be gay to lure Sheppard out to the truck. He then tried to use gay panic as a defense. They knew he was gay, they pretended to be gay and then beat and tortured him before leaving him tied up in the freezing rain. Whether Matthew Shepard was a methamphetamine dealer is a controversial claim that is heavily disputed by investigators, friends, and his family.
