→Falsehoods: Noting that one of Shepherd's killers was gay himself.
*Films based on the [[Matthew Shepard]] fallacy.

:Adherents to Hollywood values "green-lighted a troika of [[Matthew Shepard]] movies after he was senselessly killed because it affirmed their gut feeling that a homosexual young man living in backward America is destined for death at the hands of hateful ultraconservatives. A street in West Hollywood still stands in his name despite ABC News reporting the story false: He was killed by crazed meth addicts for drugs and money—not because of his homosexuality. Isn't that tragic enough? Yet Shepard is still the icon of homosexual victims' rights, and the mistaken story of his 'fate' soon thereafter befell Jake Gyllenhaal's character in ''Brokeback Mountain.'' The Oscar statuette stands as the exclamation point."<ref>Breitbart, Andrew (September 26, 2007).
