When asked about revealing the forsenic evidence that proves Matthew’s death was related to drugs,“Is that worthwhile simply because it may be true” the guy at the pride festival replied, “There’s a point when you as a person should look around and read the room. The understanding of what happened to Matthew means a lot to a lot of people so just leave it alone. Even if there was some amount of drug deal done wrong involved, it doesn’t matter, just read the room.” It is so concerning to me that someone could have so little regard for the truth and would rather live in a comfortable lie than an uncomfortable truth. It seems that many Americans these days have this mindset. It was this conversation that moved me to become subscriber of The Free Press. I am so thankful there are at least a few journalists that care about knowing the truth. Good work FP!

Jimenez said that one of the reasons he wrote this book was that there have been so many real martyrs in the fight for gay rights. To manufacture one dishonors their memory.
