It should not be a "pick and choose" situation.
Certainly the entire Republican Party didn't beat and torture and leave Matthew Shepard for dead, but their determination to block Anti-Hate Crime laws... which would PROTECT gays and lesbians from such brutality... makes them complicit in his murder.
Any lawmaker who doesn't work to stop crime, might as well say they condone it.
If guys like Rick Santorum (one of the Golden Boys of the Republican Party) had their way, we would be.
