Matthew Shepard died because the men who beat him with "homophobes." Unfortunately, however, they were/are not the only ones. The Westbro Baptist Church are famous for their "GOD HATES FAGS" posters and hateful beliefs that they try to force upon the world. Well when they heard of Shepards's story, what did they do? They showed up at his funeral with personal posters of Matthew and pretty much said that they were glad he was dead, and glad this happened! The people of this church are not the only who feel this way, but they are the "face", I guess you could say, of the Homophobes. The death of Shepard is a controversy because he died because he was gay. simple as that, and people really just have a hard time accepting others.
