Why did Matthew Shepard get in a car with straight Texan guys in the middle of the night? Recently in a Newsweek interview, his mother said that Matthew had a "dark side." (please note: I once had a boyfriend who pursued straight guys relentlessly. He was really sick). Since Matthew obviously had "gaydar," he knew he was going out with straight guys. Did he seek out dangerous situations with heterosexual males?
In a March, 1999 interview with Vanity Fair, Judy Shepard discussed that while Matthew was on vacation in Morocco during his senior year in high school, a gang there raped him. Again, it seems that Matthew Shepherd put himself in a dangerous situation with straight males (I've been to Morocco many times and people don't just get dragged off the street and raped).
Obviously, Shepard didn't deserve to be murdered, but it is doubtful that he was the saintly martyr he is made out to be.

Not every gay guy has gaydar my boyfriend doesnt i had to basicly beat him over the head with my sexuality to get him to notice. and also it was stated that they lied to him and acted like they were a gay couple.
