Matthew must be so immensely proud of his parents.

Judy & Dennis have been so inspirational. They have been so brave speaking out about the violence that happens to many gay and lesbian people and how it affected there lives.

Homosexuality is NOT a choice, homophobia and hate IS.

EVERY kid on this planet should be lucky to have parents that fight for, protect, guide and nurture their kids unconditionally. Matthew did, so did I.

they lost their son in such vile horrid shocking way - god bless and protect them - Matthew is at gods side forever -

Judy is pure class. She is inspirational. If only all parents had such unconditional love for their children the world would be a better place.

It's time to end hate.

@borpee2 I see your still acting as sick as ever borpee, you really need to think before writing anything down. You go on about Jesus but he taught about love your just a sheep following a flock of bible thumper's in the WBC. No-one deserves that ever if you were really a Christian you would know that, go back under the rock from which you crawled out from now.

Dude, why don't you just die?

I love you Judy and Dennis. You two are my inspiration. After hearing your son's story and listening to Judy speak at my school, I have faith that the world will be a better place - where people are free to be who they are without fear of retribution.

Just watching this made me choke up with tears. We can never heal their wounds or bring back their son, but at least this hate crimes bill will finally become law.
