"No doubt Steve Jimenez will face criticism for his powerful book. Why did he have to dig around and stir things up?... The movement for equality for gay people is important, not because of what happened to Matthew Shepard on an October night 15 years ago, but because no one should be less valued as a human being because of who they are or who they love... When combating hatred and bigotry, the truth is always important." - The Jewish Daily Forward
