    Mrs. Shepherd, I was recently in The Laramie Project play in Airdrie, Alberta, 🇨🇦. It was a moving, powerful, emotional experience which I will never forget. I know we have made more people aware of hate crimes which unfortunately exist today. Blessings.

    Mrs. Shepherd I met you once when you came to Memphis to speak in honor of Matthew. I cried listen to your words of encouragement to be ourselves.

    The guys that kill Mathew Sheppard will suffer for life. I can now only imagine what type of abuse and mistreatment from the other inmates on the dorm who accept the life style of homosexuality. No one can control another adult. What two people do behind closed doors in the business of the two individuals involved.

    To anyone who has an issue with another person’s sexuality, and in no way it affects you you simply are a pervert with a perverted mind and heart. The audacity to have an opinion about someone you aren’t sexually engaged with. Fix yourself.
