A very thoughtful, thought-provoking, and ultimately well-reasoned essay on social martyrdom and the cult of perceived public image in the face of revelatory facts. The main thesis centers around Matthew Shephard and the new information concerning his death in the Stephen Jimenez book that was semi-recently released.
