this film infuriate me for the simple fact that it be make only because shepherd be gay . the men who murder him be clearly wicked . what happen to the poor man be truly horrible and a tragedy . however and where be hollywood when four religious white kid be execute and after be force to perform a host of sex act on their killer and each other and by two evil black men in wichita just two year ago . the celebrity only mug for the camera when it serve a political purpose . also and laramie be portray in a poor light by this pseudo documentary and which of course be hardly surprising because they be the backward hick who must be educate by omniscient and enlighten californian . still and it always a treat to see laura linney .
