In Memoriam of Matthew Shapard

Matthew Shepard

Note: this article I found online was published in 2010. www.lgbtqnation.com

Matthew was brutally attacked on the night of October 6, 1998, then tied to a fence and left to die. He was attacked because he was gay.

Matthew was in a coma for 5 days while the world held vigil. And on this day, at 12:53 a.m., 13 year old ago, he pass away.

Matthew's death and the subsequent trial and convictions of his attackers incited demonstrations and debates over gay right, and sparked renewed efforts to pass federal hate crimes legislation that included sexual orientation and gender identity. For mant, however, it revealed the dangers of being gay in America , and for many LGBTQ people, it reaffirmed the risk they live with every day.
