![RIP Matthew Shepard [ December 1, 1976 - October 12, 1998 ]
To many, Matthew Shepard is considered a martyr, a public symbol undeniably important not because of how he lived, but how he died. To a few others, Matthew Shepard was so much more. By sharing our stories, perhaps we can tell the world about Matthew Shepard, the martyr, as well as the son, the brother, and friend whose passing we mourn quietly every day.
