Why Is Matthew Shepard Still The Patron Saint of Homosexuals?

Saint Matthew of Wyoming 

The myth prevails, because many on the left wants it to prevail...

Matthew Shepard died in a drug deal gone bad. His murderer was gay too.  

But hey, don't let pesky things like facts get in the way of a emotionally charged martyr for the cause.

Credit for the leftist independent Stranger to follow up on this. This has been reported before (credit to the Guardian too), but is consistently ignored by most of the media. They do not want to go there. Dead Matthew Shepard is so much more valuable to them as a martyr for homosexuality (rather than a sad statistic of why you should not get involved in the drug trade). 

Interning his ashes in the National Cathedral? Really? And his "papers" to the Smithsonian? So is he the patron saint of homosexuals or meth dealers?  I don't condone his pistol whipping and subsequent death. I also don't condone selling methamphetamine.
