I learn a lot from watching this, I am feeling a little sad and emtional, why can't people realize that gay people are human beings too, If I would have been with Mattew I would told the men who took his life and robbed him to take my life instead, that is how much I love Matthew, he is a gay male and like me and the thousands of other gay men, he was still a human being and we gay people have to deal with homophobia and stuff, someday more and more haters will realize we are humans, and we have the same rights as everybody else, and Matthew, me and all gay and lesbian people are God's children too, I am so sick of turning on the news hearing about a gay person got shot or killed by haters, here are the links,

The death of Matthew Sheppard brought to light the hate that exist because one is gay. Having followed the story since it first occurred it still bring tears to my eyes. Matt was sweet innocent fun loving and caring young man. Dealing with being gay he like the rest of us wanting but one thing to be accepted for who we are.

That story is really sad. I don't remember when, but I read something and watched some videos on it like a long time ago when it happened. His mother is doing a lot to stop hate crimes tho.

I have alarming news. The Matthew Shepard Act – whose passage in the Senate and House required months of effort – is now in serious jeopardy of not making it to the President's desk.

I didn't see the show on A&E, but I have seen other stories done on the incident. It is very sad indeed.

I thought it was a downright shame what happened to him. I feel for his family. I'm not gay and I think it's totally wrong. STOP THE HATIN'!!!
