ALL OF YOU conservatives who thought the Clinton scandal marked the end of liberal media bias. That this tactic is familiar does not make it any less outrageous or offensive. He died several days later.
Police say the motive for the crime was robbery.
But there was also evidence that the two thugs who committed this act were able to abduct Shepard by at first posing as gay men. If this sounds familiar, it should. A month or two before Matthew Shepard's murder, some conservative Christian groups had circulated print and television ads suggesting that it is possible to leave gay orientation behind and even marry and have children. According to the Family Research Council, one of the groups that sponsored the ads, thousands of men and women have successfully altered their sexual orientation. Now, it is understandable that gay activists, who want homosexuality to stand on completely equal footing with heterosexuality and who are keen to be accepted and approved just the way they are, find these ads annoying.
