Meth user, involved in the meth business. Killed by a bisexual meth dealer and part time prostitute who had known him for some time, for drug related reasons. Homophobia completely irrelevant, was claimed as a reason for the murder to avoid talking about drugs/getting killed in prison. (stephen jimenez--the book of matt).
Do we really need myths? If the real problem was meth, shouldn't that have been focused on? Hasn't this lead to people having an exaggerated notion of the desire of ordinary wyomingites to murder people for being gay, and isn't that bigotry? It seems likely that the other guy involved (Russell Henderson) was given an excessive punishment as a result of the whole furor.
I can't see any way to support this kind of mythmaking.
