GLSEN Teach Respect

[mergelfreaksrule101]

@dellgriff80 And Homophobes are closeted fucks who hate all us LGBTQ open people who are loud and proud and are not afraid of coming out; and bash them for being open so they can hide there sexual orientaton and cry at night and jack off to gay porn. But were the ones getting killed and committing suicide? WOW. #realitycheck right there for you.

[PaNdAxSaMa]

everytime i see his parents i just wanna give them a hug

[StoogeWatcher]

So where is that respect for everyone else. And where was the outrage over the murders of Jeffrey Curley and Jesse Dirkhising?

[amdsoccer94]

fucking fags. STRAIGHT PRIDE DAY!!!

[Wolfbloodvamps171]

@amdsoccer94 The hate you spread around is what killed Matthew. 

[amdsoccer94]

@Wolfbloodvamps171 being gay is wrong. no argument about it

[Wolfbloodvamps171]

@amdsoccer94 The only reason you believe it to be wrong is because you were taught that being gay is wrong. No argument there.

[amdsoccer94]

@Wolfbloodvamps171 there is a reason that guys and guys and girls and girls cant reproduce.

[mergelfreaksrule101]

@amdsoccer94 Yeah man! :D

Sike.

It's ignorant people like you on youtube who ruin it for the rest of us. #imjustsayin It's only the "striaght people" who go around and bash videos about serious issues. Hmm? Anyone agree? I know damm sure I do. You're a fool who needs to get educated. AMEN

[Byakuyasamamark205]

That's so gay, it's funny.

[TeganandSarafan23]

I agree. 

[commodorefan2]

4 kids commit suicide because they were bullied for being gay and Carl Paladino has the audacity to say that we shouldn't be teaching our kids tolerance and respect because "I don't want kids being brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is okay." how is that right?

[MrVincentify]

well at least most the comments i read where from 9months and some ago...who cares if her son was gay, or what he was doing in life...her son died..and for people to be able to say so much hate is wrong...

[TurboDally]

What happened to "hate the sin love the sinner"? What happened to "Jesus loves you"? If you really believed that you wouldn't need to go out there and start bullying those you don't like and even end up killing them.

[ninthave]

There's nothing more tragic than losing a child. But, i'm sorry people don't learn "hate" in schools. In fact, one of the things they learn from GLSEN is how to safely "fist" each other, among other things. Also, that gender identity, and sexual orientation are all socialized, learned behaviors. But wait, I didnt think people chose to gay...now I'm confused. GLSEN's goal is to indoctrinate the youth with their theory of gender/sexual identity socialization hidden behind this womans pain.

[Ztupidsic]

Gay means happy, Quit denying freedom of speech to people who say "thats so gay". Homosexuals are facist perverts that do not deserve any more respect than a child molester. Homosexuals that use the word gay use it as slang for faggot and homo. Why do blacks call other blacks the NI&&ER word still, the same reason street faggots still call each other faggot. You "GLSEN" are going to push us Hetero's too far and we will make being homo against the law and get rid of you all by force of law. TSG

[MattXDLOL]

@Ztupidsic honostly idk y are being so rude about homosexuality. No one is forcing you to have a same sexy marraige so dont worry about it. It doesnt concern you

[amanda601]

teach you kids what is right and wrong, you want respect when your having samesex relations, how do you respect that twisted and harmful behavior. it was wrong in the beginning and will be wrong in the end. those feelings your are having is called guilt and shame, its natural and respect it/

[idaman12345]

@amanda601 actually in reality its not wrong

[vivelesmuffins]

amazing video. Its truely sad that gay teens only try to be themselves, but this happens! its sad really...

[Panditha666]

i know he wasnt, i know friends who knew him, but i do agree where are the tears for the children that were killed by those people regardless of their sexual orientaton.

[LinksForms]

Maybe you should really think about not googling any more, b/c everything you read isn't true. And this boy didn't deserve to die, and Neither did anyone of those people you said. Though none of them deserved to die, they did. You have to stop blaming everything in the world on homosexuals, we are no more dangerous then you.

[ingodwetrust99]

LinksForms,

Maybe you should really think about your behavior instead of worrying about what I read.

Of course he didn't deserve to die, in spite of the fact that he was a grown man who associated with riff raff. "Those people" I cited were innocent little children who did nothing but trust sexually perverted adults.

I do not blame everything in the world on homosexuals. I do not believe that GLSEN programs ought to be permitted in public schools.

Google: Black Book article 8

[LinksForms]

And what riff raff are you talking about? He did nothing but get his education and get depressed to the homophobia around him. And due to that two boys whom are homophobic brutally killed him. GLSEN programs are amazing programs that should be brought every where, bc there main mission is to stop hate, and discrimination which then will stop suicide and killings. You don't understand do you?

[Panditha666]

truth!

[jwerner1469]

Fuck this fat cunt. Your son was killed because instaed of taking care of homework for the classes he was failing at the time by the way, he was in a bar and left with 2 guys he didn't know thinking they were going to have sex. Maybe if he had his priorities in check and wasn't out fucking random people he wouldn't be dead.

[Getitgirl2005]

actually the closet cases (like you) hit on him then felt bad and killed him so he wouldn't tell. Thanks for making up lies about him and his studies though. Just pointless lies from a closet case who cant deal with himself. Pathetic sack of shit.

[XOXMSperfect]

"homosexuals are suffering from a sexual mental disorder for which there is no treatment or cure"

Actually in 1970 the AMA and APA agreed that ut's NOT a desiese or mental disorder, and shouldn't be treated as such. As far as mathew shepard goes, yes he did go to bars to find people to hook up with, but how old was he? 17-19? He was a fucking teenager, every teenager wants to have sex, but just because he's gay you make a big deal out of it.

[jwerner1469]

Or how about he was 21-22 and failing his classes because he was a lush and a homo slut that was doing the same activities that many communities are outraged about. Homosexual men searching for random sex. Why do youthink AIDS is so prevailant in ur group because of garbage like him. Another thing the AMA had a lot of pressure to remove the classification of homos thats the only reason why it happened. Why else did the change it after DECADES of concurment from doctors that it was a disorder

[XOXMSperfect]

either way he was still young, and maybe he wouldnt have to look for random sex if people like you wouldn't be such assholes and make him feel bad for wanting to be with another man. And homosexuality isnt a mental disorder because it doesn't prevent the body or mind from functioning properly, everything is the same besides the same sex attraction, and thats not classified as a malfunction. Your just a homophobe who cant face facts.

[XOXMSperfect]

"homosexuality isnt a mental disorder because it doesn't prevent the body or mind from functioning properly"

Obviously you cant read, i even said body OR mind, there are mental disorders that affect the body. Homosexuality AFFECTS a part of the brain but does not PREVENT IT FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. My sex drive does exactly what it's supposed to, when someone says i should be attracted to girls, that a matter of opinion, my sex drive tells me that i should like boys.

[sweeteyes251]

It's really sad when someone is mudered over a hate crime. We need to stop hating and start waken up! Some many of this hate crimes are young people who minded there own bussiness and gets killed over something because they other person don't like about them. Life is to short and we need to stop hating and start worrying about our own lives

[boknows94]

FAGGOT

[fearthedreadlox]

SAD.

[codename36]

GAY.

[Panditha666]

liberache gay

[ohmygod327]

Is it just me, or does anyone else get major chills when watching this....VERY powerful message and meaning. Repect all.

[BestKacFan]

NO It's not just you. When people start paying attention to what is happening to others, perhaps a decision will be made to help to make a difference. I know I have a moral and ethical responsibility EVERY DAY to make a difference in someones life; not for money or fame. Because I can. Anyone who wants to comment on my message - go ahead.

Perhaps you will think about others first!

Take Care

[billionbucks]

excellent ad. keep up the good fight

[dashagl]

codename36 is a pedophile

[Juliankawaiikau]

I think it's kind of her to give awareness about this because my bf was almost killed to when a bunch of straight guys tried to drown him at the beach...he said the last thing he thought about was me =/. I am gay and there is nothing wrong with it...on my opinion it's sick to kill someone just 'cause who they are!

[intronitro]

You are truly pathetic.

[Saruzu]

Don't compliment it. It is far worse than that.

[KryWolf]

What happened to Matthew and the senseless cruelty of it breaks my heart. But, it has brought to my awareness a pure heroine. Never have I witnessed such bravery and dignity as that of which I have seen in Judy Shepard. I offer her my deepest sympathies and gratitude that her efforts instill in me the hope that we all can survive the hate.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Its time to let our leaders know that we WILL NOT STAND for another hate crime murder. The next time it happens, its time to march on city hall wherever it happens. Its time to demonstrate that bullies need to be excised from the student body like the ticks and skin cancers that they are.

LaReina

[erasehate08]

Judy is a wonderful influence to the LGBT community she should be honored with great respect bc of what she is doing trying to get the hate crime bill passed in all 50 states if we can only get a decent president that cares about the LGBT community and keep the bill signed for good no matter who is in office......

[authorgirl86]

Judy Shepard is ahero who is trying to make a difference in this world Weall have our opinions but there's no need to spew hatred

[erasehate08]

Judy is my hero I love her she is a worderful gay activist....

[brainsuckerdotnet]

yes, it is RIDICULOUS that we should teach kids anything. you were obviously born with all the information you will ever need.

[thepinkpasty]

In light of the tragic murder in Oxnard, Calafornia, USA of 'gay' 15yr old Lawrence King earlier this month (Feb 2008), shot dead whilst in his school by a 14yr old student.

Lawrence had been the target of homophobic bullying due to his self-expressed gay sexuality...he showed such courage at an early age.

The courageous work of Mrs Shepard is ALL the more needed to combat the hatred & ignorance of those who continue to promote 'hate crime' and ignore its tragic & sad consequences.

[EloteEtoile]

i admire judy so much. she gave mercy and speared the killers, but did they even show an ounce of compassion twords matthew as he was being beaten senselessly to death, and freeze for over 17 hours? you people who preach about mercy shouldnt even be talking. you dont even follow on what you preach. eventually your values will be messured to that of a murderer like those two who murdered matthew shepard.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

I wish Matthew was stronger, and had been warned that talk will get you nowhere with murderers. That's why there is the excuse of "self defense" - because it is needed. All gays and lesbians should have self defense classes and carry arms. It is time!

[Xt0tallyXr0cknX]

all people should take self defense classes. Not only gay people get bashed...jews, blacks, muslims, women...everyone gets picked on at one point or another. Its not about telling people how to fight back, its about ending the need to fight back by preventing hate.

[seanwldct730]

i completely agree ..hatred and violence is so fucking ugly..

[gaycowboy31]

@EloteEtoile i agree with you on that she was very compasionate toward them more so that I might have been I remember this well I was out only 3 years but hideing it while I was still rodeoing at the time a GayCowboy in a Strait world I was in Wyoming myself from rodeos out there when all this happened and got sick hearing about it I first heard about GLSEN weirdly enough on a trip in Russia I met a family of a transgendered teen from the US while on a train tour there

[Agila1]

Ah the wannabe "Christian" idiots have come here. Digrace!

RIP Matthew.

[Vaebn]

Those who don't believe in self-ownership, deserve none of their own, including "Gods".

[Vaebn]

Those who don't believe in self-ownership, deserve none of their own.

Kick and be kicked.

Kill and be killed

Torture and be tortured.

[StarredDragon]

...oh. So it's okay that two people tied Matthew Shepard to a fence, tortured him, left him to freeze for seventeen hours. Because Leviticus (not Jesus, mind you) said homosexuality is wrong. Okay.

See you in hell! *Drives off in her car with rainbow flag bumper sticker and Darwin fish with feet*

[StarredDragon]

It is time to teach our kids something new. I look up to Judy Shepard for making these ads so much.

Go GLSEN!

[mrteryx]

What will happen to the two guys sentenced to life imprisonment? I am sure they will be turned in to prison bitches. Isn't it strange that they will be receiving the blunt of their own stupidity. They will probably be made to enjoy the rites of sodomy. What do you think?

[Barbarossa777]

actually child molesters and wife beaters have it the worst in jail. gay-bashers are heros in jail.

[mrteryx]

"There is no honor among thieves." They can still me heros and gangstabrides at the same time. Especially at their age they are good candidates.

[ottobinder]

Barbarossa777 quote: "actually child molesters and wife beaters have it the worst in jail.gay-bashers are heros in jail".

To Barbarossa: Then you would be a hero in jail.Out here,you're just another asshole bigot. You assume Matthew didn't practice safe sex,didn't respect the law,was arrogant,was drunk,thought he was special(he was combatting depression over the rampant homophobia aound him) & and was a dumb time bomb.This college educated young man was killed by 2 dumb hetero time bombs.

[Bluseas]

bluseas

thanks for having the courage to stand up for what is right.

[FargoJ02]

How dare you to spam a stupid dating site on a public announcement such as this? have you no shame?

[pravda707]

The 18th is the first day of silence organized at my (Catholic) school... things ARE moving forward thanks to people like Mrs. Sheppard. THANK YOU.

[bassmasta2244]

thank you so much. it's so sad that things like this still go on. im hoping ill use this for a discusion after the day of silence at my school.

[XxXTexXxX]

Stupid MAutaher FUACKERS Wats Wrong With Being Gay GOD DAMN IT!!

EVERY BODY CAN BE WAT HE LIKS TO BE

!!!!

[TomCollinsgirl]

I have chills watching her. The pain she must hae gone through and still go through. I grew up in a family that didnt talk about being gay. And in that silence, I learned to accept people who were such. Too bad those men and others haent

[betchamyzel]

Isn't it time to teach our kids something new? This woman is more right than you may think. We've had 3 fights at our school this week, and all were started by the same group of boys. Rest in peace, Matthew, and let's teach our kids some new lessons.

[BoPhoenix]

re parishilter666 ppl do care.. but i bet straight ppl aren't being killed Because they are straight!

[Greg1601]

RIP Matt... and help keep watch over us all

[SamWaterstonFanatic]

More people should heed her words...RIP, Matt.

[gameboyxp20]

Awwweee :-(

[rebelschewy]

:'( Omg! This brought tears to my eyes...
