Matthew Shepard was beat severely by two young men, tied to a fence, and left to die outside of Laramie Wyoming eleven years ago.
Tonight I heard his mother, Judy Shephard, speak about the meaning of his life and death, and how it has affected gay activism and the fight for gay rights in America.
She told this story:
"The town of Caspar, Wyoming is encourage me and my work of my cause. I have old ladies, grandmothers, stopping me in the aisle of the grocery.
"I'm so suppportive of why you're doing. I have a gay grandchild" they whisper.
I say to say "Thank you very much. But please, don't whisper, say it out loud.""
