Unfortunately, it's far from what happened to Matthew Wayne Shepard, but nonetheless, it say so much. How can anyone really capture the entire sad incident? The little guy lives on the internet, and it seems as if the internet was made for him. The last time I looked, his internet identity on AOL was still available but "he isn't in".
@SereenaStellar A few details need clarification. McKinney and Henderson weren't just drinking. Matt wasn't wrapped in wire; his wrists were tied behind the fence while he sat on the ground. As Jean-Paul Sartre noted in "La Nausée", there is no way to tell a story without deviating from the actual. We've seen both "Anatomy of a Hate Crime" and "The Matthew Shepard Story", and neither has all the facts. Then in November 2004, ABC's 20/20 further distorted what happened that night.
More people need to hear the song and read these lyrics. Everyone who agrees please post this on your facebook page. It may have happend years ago but this kind of murder is still happening around the world
@GaySingleMulatto Ironically, that's one of the few places you can find true beauty anymore. After tragedy, people do what's right not because they want to be remembered for doing the right thing, but because it is the right thing. Which is a sadly rare thing today.
God bless Matthew, Teena Brandon, Gwen Araujo and all victims of senseless, brutal hate crimes. They should never be forgotten.
