  • Hate crime laws are good because they send a message ...allbeit a small but resilient message , that crimes that are motivated by 'hate ' of a persons sexuall identity will not be tolerated and the punishment will be severe. All crimes are not equal.

  • I'm not trying to be a dick and I don't want any BS. I want a straight answer.... how are hate crime laws beneficial?

  • @onefodderunit this doesn't take away your first amendment rights. You can still believe what you want an say what you want. This act just extended hate crime laws to sexual orientation. The first amendment doesn't let you commit hate crimes so you aren't losing anything.

  • I can understand the reasons for her wanting this bill, but in all honesty, this bill won't change one thing other than giving people a piece of paper to point at to make their point. People will still do hate crimes, people will still have it hard because of prejudice, and the law will still show increasing favoritism.

  • Who yes it will. Fuck with a Gay person and you`ll serve time. That`s ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD BABY !!

  • I saw Judy Shepard speak at a local college... I really admire her. She's a great speaker, very down to earth, and surprisingly very light-hearted and funny. I expected her speech to be extremely sad but it actually gave me hope. It was sad in the beginning because she read her testimony before the court which convicted Matt's murderers but then her speech become more light-hearted and hopeful.

  • I admire you ,Judy Shepard , your are a great mother ...

    _My opinion to those hateful coments in this video: atthew's life was taken not only in robbery ,but also because those two killers knew matthew was gay.They tostured him, beat him brutally (his face was covered with blood ), his brain stem was damaged severely and they left him to death in...Can you guys still say that is not a hate crime ?

    This is somehow a hate crime and I curse that Fred Phelps .

  • i want the mother of matthew to know that there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of matthew. I miss him vey much. I want to thank her for her strength, courage and compassion. The hate of gay people comes mostly from our sex-based religion. Their religion is a lie so they can only hang on by injecting sex into their sermons. Falwell is dead and i say good riddence. Matthew is gone and all i can say is I miss you man and i always will. Maybe someday we can be together.

  • 13 year old Jesse Dirkhising - after being bound, raped, repeatedly sodomized with a variety of large objects. When police arrived, Jesse's "body was smeared with feces."

    Jesse died at the hands of two males who tortured him, but that's not "hate", because the males were homosexuals.

  • (edit) 13 year old Jesse Dirkhising died . . . 

    "Hate Crimes" laws destroying American's Freedom would incite resentment towards homosexuals who are being used by the ADL for that exact purpose, to destroy American's Freedom

  • Your reference is extremely limited in Understanding hate Crimes against Gays and Lesbians. .

  • You're ignorant. I best you kiss your cousin too

  • I'm so sorry for all the hateful comments on this video.

    I just saw Judy speak at my university, and she is so full of love and compassion. She does not deserve this kind of hate.

    You have my full support.

  • I am so sorry for the way people treat you over this they are assholes and they need to get a life it was real. I hate that bitch Miss California and I hate Virginia Foxx I hope they both get the swine flu because they are pigs and ugly old hags. Matthew deserves to be treated with respect fuck all the assholes who thinks this isn't real. I think you should sue Virginia Foxx for her comments!

  • Comment removed

  • So glad to see that it's passed. I can believe hatemongering Christians are okay with gay bashing. So much for the love of Jesus.

  • God is not religon but a spiritual bond.. wasnt it god who told the europeans to go crusading?

  • In all the cases you mention not a single one was carried out due to the victim's sexual or gender identity. It's an important distinction to keep in mind.

  • HryMuscle

    Oh please! In all cases innocent children were tortured, abused and raped by homosexuals. All these perverts singled out innocent CHILDREN, the objects of their hate.

    They are all filthy and evil cowards who were already sexually perverted and moved along to the next and ultimate taboo.

    You ought to buy a copy of "The Gay Report".

    Google: Report on 'The Gay Report'

    Google: Americans for Truth » Gay Rights' Icon Frank Kameny Says ...

  • By continuing to post the references you do you make it clear you do not understand that hate crimes are intended to not only hurt or murder an individual but to terrorize an entire community. In the not so recent past lynchings took place in black communities as a message to keep 'them' in their place in much the same way gay bashing exists today. BTW , the Hate Crimes Bill protects 'straights' as well.

    Google: Jose and Romel Sucuzhanay

  • Your rationalization of a Mothers son being murdered for BEING GAY is ignorant. When a Jew was murdered in Crown Heights you damn well know that shit didn`t go passing. If you can`t stop hate, shut up.

  • A crime is a crime either way you look at it.

    I hope these dense heads realize that the prosecutor has to be able to prove this beyond a resonable doubt. There are enough laws on the books. I was glad Bush vetoed this bill.

  • Why wasn't Jesse Dirkhising's murder called a hate crime? This seems hypercritical

  • That podium should read "prevent hate crimes, protect gays only"

    When is murder not a hate crime?

  • I totally agree with you. I have been saying gays are just pushing their agenda. I mean you can get the death penalty for killing a gay person or for a racial reason , but rape and murder a child and you may only get 20-life. It is sad that people and Americans hold more value for certain lives than others. It's sick!! It's agenda pushing.

  • I do not mind that your country is a fucking shit, and the women of your country came to Spain , asshole, motherfucker

    ahh Take the cock ( of your dog) out of your mouth

    GILIPOLLAS DE MIERDA

  • yes, yes, Fuck you, motherfucker, I do not mind if your father FUCK WITH you when you were little, Die and make the world a favor, asshole "cacho de mierda", "das pena", you're the cancer society. fucking asshole

    LIVE THE GAYS, VIVA ESPAÑA, VIVA EUROPA, gilipollas DE MIERDA !!!!!!!!!

  • Dear Asseater

    What are you trying to say as i do not understand what you are saying, Take the cock out of your mouth. Something about your daddy liked to touch your little pee-pee, I here that most spanish men are fudge packers and thats why so many spanish women come to Canada to find a real man. Why do you like to eat cock Asseater, can you explain that to me. By for now Asseater.

  • que si que no me importa que tu pais sea una puta mierda, y las mujeres de tu pais se bengan a España, idiota, hijo de puta

  • ok...I take it you black yeah? it sounds like it, You have your own problms with the KKK, ok? so just dont start on others when your not perfect in other peoples eyes, an if you not black and you do dislike gays, why the fuck are you looking up videos related to gay people? Your so fucking stupid.

  • how long are the murderers in jail for

  • life.

  • bitch fuck youmatthew didn't do anything to anyone he can't help how he is just like you can't help but be an asshole and yeah im a guy sticking up for him and idc if you want to call me gay even though im not i just know that killing him for his sexuality is wrong you think taking someones life in that brutal manor is okay then you have some serious issues no matter the circumstance no one deserves to die like that or to die at all he was a good person thats life was shortened by idiots like u

  • why you judging me. i only said what millions think and dont have the balls to say. Speaking of balls you sound like a guy who has them hanging under his chin on a regular basis. Its ok if you want to suck dick just dont cry when you get smashed for it. So how long have you been a stoll pusher? you say your not gay. Your in denial you fucking cum guzzzler.

  • LOL its amazing how you know every gay comment in the world you must've been told to do the same things your telling me about 100 times and idc what you say to me i don't get hurt easily idk you so why should i give a fuck what you say exactly i have a girlfriend you obviously don't since your online bashing gay people but i have a question if you have a little brother or sister and they were gay would you still love them or would u help the idiots beat them to death

  • i dont know every gay comment in the world but by your own admission you seemed to be well versed and schooled in the art of cock sucking and all that incompese it.. A true fudge packer at heart you are im sure. Im sure you are the type who was maybe touched a little as a child. maybe mommy didnt love you enough and daddy loved you a little tooooo much. Your like a flower bed to a dog in that you will always have a place for a fag to burrie his bone. On that note go fucking kill your self

  • continued.....

    You are the type of sick fuch who only uses a condom tonight when he wants to pack a lunch for tommorow kind of a "Snip -the -tip and slurp" kind of guy just drop it in your coffee to heat it up. You seem like the type who would enjoy eatting cream pies out of another guys hairy ass then burp the alphabet just to impress. you truly sicken me you cum crazed lunatic ass bandit mother fucker now fuck you.

  • wtf you know so many gay things LOL you just wrote a biography about being gay is there somthing your not telling me? im not gay and really it doesn't bother me if you call me gay i know im not but its nothing offending either mmk so on that note i'll finish getting head from your momma and fucking her in the ass and droppin her back off on the corner where she belongs

  • You may not be gay, but I know your thinking about swollowing a hot soothing cup of man seed. Rednecks like you will take it in any different form. it all depends on what is avalible. If their is cock avail, well thats what you will fuck. You fucken hillbillies are so fucken inbred that the feel of fish guts on your pathetic cocks are enough to make you blow a load. So this is what you do. Go get your mamie, stick your cock up her ass and put the bitch in the trailer court and sell her ass.

  • LOL another gay comment just keep them coming i didn't even know about the fish guts thing you must do it everytime you buy some and see you dont even know wtf ur talkin about cuz one im not even white im black you dumb ass hatin bitch ass pussy you come up with these lame ass jokes and expect a comeback from me just stfu ur a hater its sad that matthew has haters even in the grave cut yo self, cut yo self and bleed that haterism out of you BITCH

  • fish guts, what are you talking about. Are you all drunked up on man ass and stail cum again. You are such a simpelton, Mommy not love you enough or maybe daddy loved you to much.

  • No, his life was shortened cuz he loved cock. He picked up two good ol' boys who were straight and attempted to get a free meal from their shorts. As a result of his "need for man seed" he was treated to a good old fasion shit kicking. He was found bleading and tied to a wooden fixture much like the way they used to find niggers in the good ol' days. If the little fag would have kept it in his pants and stayed out of the good ol' boys pants he would still be around sucking little fag dicks today

  • Comment removed

  • Yes i guess your right they should have killed him a little more humainly. And im sure thats what happened the two boys just got carried away. Kind of like a cat with a mouse. He has fun with the mouse but does not mean to kill it. Poor little mouse. The fag was just week . not the boys problem.

  • Comment removed

  • I would have used a good heavey spade shovel over the head a few times that would have done the trick. Besides they should have had a shovel on them to burrie the piece of shit anyways. Even a cat burries shit to get rid of it.

  • cotinued... Now two good ol'boys who tryed to protect them seleves against this little fags advancements are once again having to fight for their lives. this aint right. They were provoked and did what needed to be done. What is this world comming to when two good'ol boys cant hang a beat down on some little turd tapping, stool pushing meat grinder. Besides, these boys just probably prevented the spread of several cases of aids that this outbreak monkey was carrying anyways.

  • step by step... little by little... thank you Matthew's parents : )

  • that is soo sad

  • im sad.

  • that is truly very sad and disappointing for you to say that. for you to be so ignorant and close-minded must mean you really have a lot to learn about life. you make society sick.

  • Unfortunately a lot of people don't realize that hate crimes are often times promoted by the police, the very people we rely on in a hate crime incident. Police officers can be very homophobic and use hate speech against gay people in their jurisdictions. Other young people hear this and they think it's ok to attack gay people. It's happened in Atlanta and I'm positive that it happens in other cities/towns across the country.

  • What did they do to you to make you hate them so much? I'm pretty sure they try to live their lives as normally as all of us, and its hard for them because of everything that goes around about fag(s) and "No homo" crap, they deserve to be able to live freely, just like you... You have no right to say things like that, because of someone's sexual orientation, it's just not right.

  • FUCK YOU YOU HOMOPHOBIC PRICK. who are you to decide who should die and I am agianst gays but you dont see me going around saying they should die. no one decides who is worthy and who is not. EXCEPT GOD.

  • Make Every Violent Crime a Hate Crime. We need to put every Career Criminals behind bars. Carrie Martin, My Brother in Law Cousin, was murdered violently by a career violent offender. He committed a violent crime, since it was not against anykind of minority, he only got a small sentence. He got out even earlier, not too long after his release, he murdered Carrie Martin. Had we treated every crime like a hate crime, then she would be alive today.

  • I will challenge Judy Shepard to support a bill making every crime a hate crime. Her words is "This bill will be for everybody." Let's have a bill for everybody, by making every crime a hate crime.

  • How sad that you are so blinded and deafened by your ignorance and hatred.

    Hate Crime laws protect everyone.

  • HEY, we've got something in common! You hate fags & fag lovers, & I hate deluded hermit life HATERS like you! Stop using God as an excuse for your hatred towards everything in life. if u hate the way life is? then you know what you can jump off of!

  • My last Comment is to: "SayerOfTheLaw"

  • You are a low life good for nothing bitch!why dont you just jump off the fuckin world becuz its ppl like you that shit like this happends! Larry King know him..bet you do he was 15 and killed for being in your words a fag idk how you sleep or live! knowing that sumones life was taken away for the stupidity on how they look at life and other ppl!! so the next time you have something rude of meaning less to say to anything about gay's lesbians bi's think twice cuz if now a days u can get killed

  • for being gay then by dam you better be lucky that u havent died for being stright cuz sumones goin to take those words rite out of ur mouth and make you pay. so get a life and stop hating on the way other ppl live theres

  • THAT COMMENT WAS FOR JOEYCHARMED!

  • ehy have you got beef with me for? i was being sarcastic in my last message to "sayerofthelaw". becoz him and all the rest of the cult always use the words "fag/s" etc etc, so i just said it bk in a sarcastic way! And u only have to look at my profile on here to know that I AM GAY! So please read comments more closely and check out user profiles before you waste all them typing skills in typing a message.

  • Matthew Shepard is truly honored by his family. Those loud people that claim they know all about "Family Values" can learn some real family values from the Shepard Family.

  • HeathersArk - I know wot ur saying can't believe half of the name calling and threats that they have come out with. I mean some really sick things i have read of what they have said is disgusting imo. one comment that gotto left 2 another person 4 example was hoping that her son dies becoz she admitted that her son is also gay n serving in the army (i think). I mean like, whats that all about?

  • you should check out dracanomite latest video, I'll send it to you. Its a quick summary of some of the outlandih comments made by "funda*MENTAL*ists" ...MENTAL being the key word there, lol!

  • Zombo & bully-Regardless of the doctrines of your religions,how does that explain the lack of humanity?Tolerance isn't about beliefs or convitions its about action.Hate manifests itself into violence & its about time we did something to change that.Look at Matt Sheppard,Larry King,VA Tech, Columbine-all victims of violence,all victims of some form of hate.When you fight hate w/ hate your message falls on deaf ears,but w/ poise & grace people will listen.

  • ZOMBO2590 - Why dont u just admit that U and ur little group r really FAKES!?!?!?!?!?

    No real christian would EVER say nasty things like you have said on here and to others. 2nd U havnt made any effort 2 put up any videos of ur own, and also every single comment that u have made has been a nasty one, which says 2 me and others that U r on heree 2 purposely piss people off becoz u've got nothing else better 2 do. SO GAMES UP. Get a life! I mean like even ur name gives it away, ur a fake on here.

  • joeycharmed they are part of the WBC-Fred Phelps cultists. But you are right they aren't "real" christians even though they think they are.

  • She has lost a son to violence, have you no compassion u so called christian??? it doesnt matter that he was gay,str8,black,white,asian,his­panic - either way it was wrong what had happened. Being homophobic is wrong and u know it! U say on ur page that murder is "wrong" and so is being gay, but when u have the 2 put 2gether u apparently have a "right" do u? that the guy desreved to b killed becoz he was gay? Hypocrite

  • Can't believe that u r condoning this. being gay has nothing 2 do with it! whateva way u r looking at it you need 2 remember that he was a human being being brutally attacked and left for dead. its the evil thugs that did this that you need 2 b praying for knowing that they're the ones goin to hell. even if being gay was wrong? then 2 wrongs dont make a right! Also there r more non believers who r heterosexual than there r gay ppl in the world, but i bet ud cry if they were murdered. hypocrite

  • If its people like you in heaven I want to go to hell.

  • Sure. Whatever. People wants peace. Your rules are from dark ages. You will simply vanish with understanding times. Llke kfag101 wrote down, preaching is about LOVE not hate and crimes. Get yourself a map, invisible one.

  • You disgusted me. I just want to vomit. Bigots likes you who are preaching this kind of garbage are the ones who should be put away. R.I.P Matthew.

  • Your delusional comments are worthless. The world is changing. Bigots, homophobics, your time will come to an end and you'll be remembered as a disgrace of humanity.

  • Best of luck Judy! I really hope the bill gets passed through.

  • Ok, again, Homosexuality is not a sin. It can't be a sin because it is not s choice, and that has been proven. Also Jesus never spoke of Homosexuality....ever.... My savior is Jesus, and I follow his words.

  • Jesus never spoke of Homosexuality being a sin. Jesus preached that everyone is a sinner and that if we believe in him we shall have everlasting life. So you're wrong. So before you go off judging people like you just did, you should probably read that man made book called the Bible some more and get to know the real facts.

  • I am a true christian and I know Matt shepard is in heaven. Jesus preached love!

  • Revelation 22:10Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy."

    - Love how you 'Christians' just ignore scripture.

  • Good for you. Glad you've found a worthwhile cause. It takes a real special person who wants to stand up for people who physically attack others.

  • This bill is not like that you dumbfuck. If Christians are peacefully protesting a gay pride parade and someone in the parade attacks one of the Christians guess what - they get charged with a hate crime. You're a fucking idiot. This bill in no way targets free speech and goes out of its way in its wording to make that clear. Read the bill you fucking illiterate.

  • What a dumbass.

  • I'm sooo glad I'm an atheist and I can decide things for myself, think for myself, I don't have to rely on a book that's written of people to tell me how to act and what to believe in! NOBODY deserves to be beaten to death! NOBODY! How can you christians approve of what his killers did?

  • This has nothing to do with God, it has to do with a hate crime. Grow up, get an education, and use your brain. You are the kind of person I can't stand, because you believe that you religion is about some flesh eating God who couldn't possibly care about anything. I believe in a loving God, not the asshole you make him out to be.

  • omfg u sick son of a bitch go back to church

  • nope...im not about to change and become a fucking sheep...plus my boyfriend is hott

  • thats stupid im not about to change for "god" and these suposed X gays...thats bullshit they are lieng to themselves and every1 else for fuck up bible thumpers like you

  • you haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about or who you are dealing with.

  • what the hell does that have to do with gay rights?

  • um ok what the hell is Khinite

  • okay so its not okay to kill gays but it's okay to force them to live their live in persecution and an unjustified society? i'd rather die. thats why i'm glad that people like you have no real power in this country. and if going to heaven means spending an eternity with ignorant people like yourself well i'd rather burn in hell.

  • hahahah for someone who seems to want to follow the bible. so well let me tell you something. Leviticus 19:11 "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another". Talk about having morals? LOL. You seem to think your so great and follow the bible yet you spread lies. Lies about people you don't even know!! Leviticus 19:17-18. If you know the bible, you know how it goes. i'm no expert, but please. give it up.

  • Okay. You almost had a complete thought there, but see, you switched topics entirely within one horrid sentence.

    Learn English a bit better before insulting people in it. And maybe find yourself a nice Christian girlfriend to devote your time to rather than spending long hours arrogantly commenting people you don't actually care about to tell them to repent.

  • would you just stop your bullshit? Gays repent? show me one passage in the NEW testament that dennounces gays? stop what you're doing because it is POINTLESS. Most of them repent? thats false. prove it. go back to the WBC hole you crawled out of.

  • im not 21. to bring religion up with gays is a waste of time. i'm christian, so everthing that has to do with believe and faith is no one elses buissiness but the on that ones it. i'm offended by gay-activists, as a man, husband, father and soccerfan! end of story.

  • You "must to" take awareness of a grammar book.

  • well i am sorry your country feels that way. they are missing out. homosexuality is not about sex. it is about LOVE. any kind of love is FINE it's your hate that you have to watch.

  • NO it's hate. You are hateful. Go live in a country that hates gays. America sure doesn't.

  • NO it is YOUR interpretation of the bible. You and your other friends that preach hate. We live in a country that has freedom of religion and if we dont have to believe in ANY bible if we choose to.

  • absolutly right. the freedom you talk about though, seem only to apply to people who give homosexuals a medal for their TRUE LOVE. sex is no love.

  • homosexuality is NOT about just sex. you are stereotyping.  thats wrong.

  • shepard went with his murderers because they said they are gay. he went for the sex. because he looked for sex in marocco he got more than he bargained for. even his HIV+ virus was passed while having sex. matthew shepard is dead because of sex. homosexual sex.

  • you can't label an entire community on incident. why don't you WBC people just stop being so hateful? every single one of you is fucking ugly both inside and out.

  • oh i though I AM stereotyping. i have nothing in common with WBC. i dont hate homosexuals. i dislike you though. not because your gay, but because you seem very simple minded.

  • oh and by the way. you and the shepard foundation make people believe that all gays are victims. so you are guilty of what you claim i do wrong. real hate, ignorance, indifference(AIDS) and dangerous, thats the pillars of the gay-activist movement.

  • me and the shepard foundation? i'm not part of it. i agree with it though. you offer no proof that matt was going for sex the night he died.

  • you offer no proove, that he didnt go with them because he didnt want sex. yea, its hard to believe, after a binge including meth, homosexual sex was the last on his mind. ok than buh bye, i'm not worthy listenening to your....um.....anyways good bye!!! when you are HIV+, i'll will admit i gave it to you. i hope i'm not to late. other than that dont waste yur time to make me understand.

  • INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY!!!!! You offer no proof that he was on drugs or wanted sex. i will never have HIV. if you are going to post ignorant comments in here like that you are prone to having MILLIONS of people dissagree with you. FUCK OFF. I hope someone shoves a knife in your UGLY heart some day!

  • "oh and by the way. you and the shepard foundation make people believe that all gays are victims."

    Hahaha! My, but you have a very low opinion of yourself.  No one can "make" anyone believe anything. Unless of course, I can make you believe you are DULL, simply by stating so.

  • Spoofmaloof do you have any PROOF to back up your allegations? otherwise they are TRIVIAL.21notforever you are obviously from the WBC so we all know your going to have a place in hell before any gay person. why do you even care about this issue so much? it doesnt even affect you so why even bother to debate it? why dont you use your time more effectively like go and sell bibles or something?

  • ya know something, 21notforever, for someone who is against this bill (which it passed in both houses btw) you sure do love to put your two sense in. why are you so hateful? why did you comment on it one week ago and come back today to comment it again? what do you have against your fellow countrymen?

  • that's your interpretation of the bible. put yourself in her shoes.

  • im sorry to everyone who has to deal with judgment and hate, Through love and acceptance we can change the world

  • Gays do not have a high rate of suicide, that is a made up myth. There is no proven connection.

  • Its been 9 years - We remember - RIP Matthew.

  • Only very inarticulate people have to hurt people to get their points across. There's no need. You're not helping. You're only trying to redeem yourself in the eyes of a perpetually angry God. Maybe you should spend more time on the emotional development of your relationship with God. He's not a hunting buddy to kill the weak with. He's pure and wise and perfect and I'm sure it is quite upsetting to see Himself so misrepresented.

  • There's a humane way to go about anything. What you're doing is vulture-like and sociopathic.

  • Emotionally degrading them along the way. You can't just help somebody, can you?

    It's interesting you and the WBC attack only those who are dead or mourning and not the flourishing gays of our society. You come to prey upon the weakened. I've seen very few, and very feeble, attempts to preach to the living by them. Elton John's playing in Kansas City tomorrow night. Where will they be? A dead soldier's funeral.

  • Love has nothing to do with mocking a mother for losing her son, no matter who he was.

  • What part of the fact that the kid is dead do you not get? He's dead. Stop kicking him. You're a coward. I've never hated someone, in my entire life, to say things like this about them following their death. You can hate someone and still be socially sensitive to others. It's called maturity and restraint.

  • You seem to really need something to do. I have a suggestion.

    1) Get a job.

    2) Work for an hour and a half (make about $10)

    3) Buy a Bible with Jesus' words in red print.

    4) Read what JESUS said. If you disagree with him, come up with another name for your religion. CHRISTian will not suit your mentality.

  • Luke 9:60...time to ove on for the shepard cult

  • (Completely impertinent to my comment.)

    That passage has nothing to do with forgetting dead loved ones and what their death meant for those in its wake. It was actually completely unrelated and I can scarcely see how you can pick at that to the point of fitting this situation.

  • jesus nused those "harsh" words to a person who gave an excuse for not be fully involved in preaching the good news. shepard is dead since nine years, yet he gets the benefit of a doubt that he was completly innocent of what happened. people used his death for politiucal reasons. anybody raising a doubt about his lifestyle gets attacked by people who say they want peace (which is a lie, just like shepards life). its time to care about the living!!!

  • It doesn't matter if he was innocent or not. The people who did this to him should not be venerated as heroes by anyone. If you think it's impossible to be gay and have morals, FINE, good job, but let his family mourn his MURDER. I am sympathizing with his family, not politicians who use him. I find them despicable.

  • no one should under no circumstances end the life of a human being, gay or not. do gays have morals? i'm sure some do. shepard wasnt one of them. shepards mother mourns on the vallet of peoples. they make millions. they spared mcinneys life, if he wont talk about what he knew. shepard knew mcinney before that night. 40 000 kids die of hunger each day, thats 19 in two minutes, but the best country in the world cries for a drug addict that could not live without the smell of ass.

  • Yes, we do cry for a "drug addict" because he was cared for by the people around him and then he was murdered. It's quite common to love someone despite their personal problems.

    You note that we are misplacing our efforts, maybe you are as well? Instead of devoting your time to being insensitive to the mother of a dead person, you could perhaps work to help the 40,000 per day you mentioned.

    I don't think you're qualified to remark on his sexual desires. I daresay you're ignorant to the matter.

  • she is not pimping her son, she is doing what he would've wanted. he wanted to help people and study political science and become a diplomat

  • For sure.

  • Yeah. This church that I went to once was just about having fun and loving everyone it was really cool. And they never talked about how everyone was a sinner and should repent they just talked about how God is love. And even though I am Atheist I still thought it was a neat church.

  • You are mistaken the religion itself is a very loving peacefully one it is just people who pick and choose passages from the bible to support their point. I bet if I tried hard enough I bet I could find passages in the Bible to support that fucking elephants on Tuesday on a North South facing street is okay by God. Basically it's the player not the game.

  • What exactly is this "agenda" you speak of. What, besides equal (not special) rights and tolerance do you think we want? It's not like we sneak into heterosexual family homes and make the kids gay.

  • I swear if I hear Leviticus 18:22 one more time I am going to explode!! That fucking book was written 2000 years ago by man NOT God when times were COMPLETELY different. Does the bible not also say that you can't shave your beard? Either follow every single last rule and commandment down to the T or stop fucking preaching to me about how I am a sin against nature if you are going to ignore the other 99% of the bible.

  • matt's mom never cared for him. that is why he wound up being a druggie and now she makes money off of his death. end of story

  • fuck YOU

  • Come on, did you really just cite Leviticus to me, are you that pathetic. Do youself a favor and type "West Wing" - Biblical Quotes into the youtube search engine. Case and point. Again, bible written by man, not God. Would you sell your daughter in the slave trade laid out in Exodus 21:7.

  • and since I don't believe in Heaven and Hell, and instead think of "God" as Nature everything around us, I'm in no harm, you however (in your theory) are headed straight for eternal damnation, for hating. So as they say, See you in Hell,

  • Having said that I could have avoided a lot of heart ache if I had just pretended to be a heterosexual, which I did for the first 18 years of my life. It made me sad, lonely, and angry. As it does to anyone who ignores their inner feelings. Finally, if God is real God does not hate homosexuality, because God does not hate, hate is a Human trait.

  • So love the sinner hate the sin? Most people think that Homosexuality is a choice, something that can be beaten out of you, something for the weak. I'll admit that the Homosexual Stereotype does leave a little to be desired, but if you were to actually sit down with a homosexual like myself, you would not be able to tell

  • So, love the sinner hate the sin? According to your theory (which is wrong btw) God also hates Woman, African Americans, and Hermaphrodites.

  • You couldn't have said it better! I don't get why a bunch of right wing religious heterosexuals who have never actually gotten to know someone who is gay think that it is a choice. They are fucking stupid and thats all there is too it. BTW sorry i accidentally clicked thumbs down I meant to click the thumb sup one but stupid youtube wont let me change it.

  • Try reading your Bible again, you'll find that it's not Anti-Christian. In fact Jesus didn't come to earth to teach us to hate, he came to teach us to love. Not to mention that the first passages in the Bible were written not only by man, but years after the death of Jesus Christ. And try reading ancient Egyptian scripture you'll find a striking resemblances between Jesus and Mary, with Horus and Isis, and a few other remarkable "coincidences". True Christians do NOT preach HATE.

  • Type in "MIDDLE SEXES EXPERIMENT ON HOMOPHOBIA" in the search box at the top of this screen. It shows exactly what sickness homophobes have!

  • you would disown him? then i hope you never have fucking children and that you die alone! Matt did not deserve to die,being beaten and then left there to die like some sort of animal?! fuck you!!! how about i tie you to a fence and beat you senseless...how would you like that!

  • What kind of society must have a foundation to prevent hate crimes? Why the education system, the families and the government have not avoided it by this time? And how many gays have been murdered in the world before and after Mathew? How many will be yet?

  • What a sick twisted foolish mind you must have to say that... Where have you been living? on mars? Incase you havent noticed, the world is sad. HELLO!? What a sick twisted God we must have to come to this sick twised planet, and be persecuted, beaten, tortured, and hung on a cross to save us from going to Hell. Well I'll tell ya, any kind of misfortune he gives to us, we deserve. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil : I the LORD do all these things.

  • Typical low brow, has to resort to foul language to try and prove his/her pathetic point. GOOD JOB.

  • Hitler also said he was Christian too...does that make him one? You will know a man by his works... Matthew 7:18

  • Jesus never even said a single thing about homosexuality in the Bible. He taught people to love one another as they love themselves. Not to hate others.

  • Accually Jesus DID talk about homosexuals, Matthew 10:15

    Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

  • If I were to believe what Dr. Seuss said in his books and I went around preaching it I would probably end up in a mental institution I don't know why they let you people preach bull shit that is completely irrelevant in this time and day.

  • Homosexual activists who once asked for tolerance now show no tolerance or sympathy for Christians whose sacred symbols they defile. They are totalitarians who accuse everyone that disagrees with them of "hatred." Even as they masquerade under the banner of toler
