LOGO REMEMBERS MATTHEW SHEPARD--THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ANY ONE OF US!! ALWAYS REMEMBER!

IT TAKES A MURDER OF ONE OF OUR OWN TO BRING ABOUT LAWS TO PROTECT US. STRAIGHTS HAVE THIS ASSUMED PROTECTION ALREADY. NOBODY BASHES THEM FOR HOLDING HANDS  OR GETTING MARRIED. 

YET WE CANNOT FEEL SAFE WALKING THROUGH GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY OR BEING A YOUNG ADULT IN THE UK OR BEING A GO-GO DANCER ON A SAN DIEGO PARTY YACHT OR WALKING HOME FROM A NIGHT OUT IN WEST HOLLYWOOD OR FILING A RAPE REPORT IN DALLAS AND HAVING THE POLICE SMIRK AT YOU OR WATCHING AN ANITA BRYANT CUNT SPEWING VERBAL DIARRHEA  IN THE 70'S ABOUT YOU AND YOUR KIND.

NOW ASK ME AGAIN WHY I'M SO ANTI-STRAIGHT AND ANTI-CUNT!!

10 YEARS AGO TONIGHT

These are NOT the kind of anniversaries we like to report on...

The evening of October 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard was beaten by Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson and just left to die--- tied to a fence near Laramie Washington.  Shepard died five days later.

Judy Shepard soldiers on.  She made a press stop on The Early Show.  Wyoming still has no hate crime law that covers sexual orientation.
