This is dedicated to all the homosexuals all over the world that continue to be harassed, abused, oppressed, discriminated against, ridiculed, beaten, tortured and murdered. Keep fighting for your human rights and dignity. You are fighting the good fight. One day bigotry will fade into the shadows and you will overcome.
What a powerful statement at the end! I love it, and I will use it in my daily life to promote the END to hatred. This is such a powerful video, and I hope that all homophobic heterosexist so-called humans out their will watch this someday and see and hear through the music, words, and pictures how hatred is still present every day and everywhere.
great video i support what you say about the bible these videos have really changed my life i didn't know him but it kills me inside that i didn't i want to meet him so much and just give him a big hug he was a beautiful guy and obviously had a beautiful soul and i will support him and his moms message till i die erase hate and start love
I can't believe his life was cut so short by hatred... he was still young...but may he rest in peace and he will be a reminder of what hatred can grow into.
i just dont get why people are so cruel why they are always judging people by the way they are and what kind of person they like its not right to be mean to peole so all of u gay or lesbian haters need to stop just ask yourself how would i feel if one of my relatives wrer that way what would u do?
Sometimes I have a really difficult time saying "men" when referring to something far less then an animal who preys on filth. Matthew was a man. The two that killed him-mere specks on the earth. Insignificant and without reason. Matthew represented men well-those other two-shame the very word "man". What a strong and mighty man Matthew was!!! Well done Matthew!!!
I'm Christian but know better than to hate or fear people because of who they choose to LOVE. R.I.P Matt, I still can't belioeve what those bastards did to him...
for every vid that i see of matthew shepherd, i end up crying. i hate that we can't feel safe, a lot of times even in our own houses, because people cannot accept our love. for everyone that stands up for anyone being put thu hell because of who they love, thank you.
The only Christians who would do a crime such as this are those who aren't christian at all. "If you say, 'I love God,' while you hate your brother or sister, you are a liar. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your brother whom you see?" 1 John 5;20. Jesus left us in his words that we should love one another, if we don't then we don't love him. I know that Matthew is in Heaven and I am also sure that God was with him always, even through the worst moments.
it is not only a tragedy that matthew had to loose his life because of stupidity and ignorance, but that the ignorance still exists in todays society. RIP
I DOn't recall ever hearing anything in the bible that says you should kill when you think you're right. People are afraid of what they can't understand. In the cases of homosexuals, people can't understand that Love that brings two persons of the same sex together, so they have to get rid of what they can't understand.
This video made me weep =( He looks so innocent. I will never understand why fucking christians and other ignorant ppl hate us for doing what we as human beings were born to do...love
what an asshole who killed him. why do ppl hate us. what have we done to these homophobic. but anyways we are getting to be the majority sooner or later. and these ppl will feel what we r feeling right now
i completely agree with Uptown69Boyz.The glbt population is growing rapidly and i think ignorant ppl are just afraid that one day we will overpower them.
Not quite sure it serves any purpose to send false signals to incite bigots. GBLT orientation is not growing but people in the west are slowly more comfortable, confident, to move towards honest acceptance and inclusion of what has always been. That eventually serves all of humanity well. A minority 5-10% of the human family has always, consistently, if not transparently been GBLT. Mind, spirit, human development more complex, wonderous than any genes expressing red hair. Honesty is best policy.
It took my family al long time to come to cope with it, but they have and I really want to thank Matt family for all they have done to help people like my self. May God bless and keep you all xxx Noel
Hi all am from a small Island called the Cayman Islands I have never heard of about Matthew until tonitht when I see the flim on youtube, it brong tears to my eyes knowing just what he must have been throungh, am a gay man as well and find it hard to become my ture self until 10 years ago...
Hate filled Religion kills! Gay bashers who call themselves Christians should read Philip Yancey's "What's So Amazing About Grace?" - And to all real followers of Jesus Christ who 'hate the sin and love the sinner' go read I John 4:7-8.
Those Fucking shits who killed him should have gone through the death penalty!!!.

Hate is fear , it exists in many forms.
That freedom of choice that God gave us all , its sad to see that many choose to murder , belittle , hate with that freedom.
The fact is that God gets to judge those kinds of people some day , and i don't think God would pat them on the back and say " you did a good job " !!
Religion is a shield for many.
One day they go to church , the next day they are cheating on their spouses!!
Hypocritical to say the least !!
Sad world we live in !!
