Hello people!

Well my friend introduced me to the Mathew Sheppard story! God it scares me since, hate crimes still occur. Gay Panic, is never an excuse! Well may he rest in peace! I’m sure he was a very nice man! I think his killers were both gay, and self-resented!

“Matt was like most young gay men I know, he had a great sense of humor and quick wit . . . On the outside he always seemed happy. He did want to fit in, and for the most part had no trouble doing so. He was always fun to be around . . . I never new Matt to be into party drugs. Matt was a typical young gay man, bitchy to those he did like and fiercely loyal to those he loved. Nothing less then a great kid.”

The Sheppard’s – as far as the movie goes- appears to be the typical Christian family! Fundamentalist family! I’m a nice person, but yet I know some will hate me to an extent. But I still move on… At first, these kinds of parents, won’t understand, but eventually they accept!

Watching this story helped me to realize that, my father had always known! We went fishing, and I guess I was less than interested. Wasn't he scared to go fishing with me, in the middle of nowhere, with no one around?! But he fished and caught many fish! I just stood there, and gazed at the water!
