    1/Matthew Shepard was attacked in Laramie, Wyoming, in an anti-gay hate crime on Oct. 6, 1998. He died from his injuries 6 days later. In his memory, @HRC remains vigilant in our work to combat hate & ensure that no one is targeted because of who they are.https://www.hrc.org/blog/remembering-and-honoring-matthew-shepard …

        2/ Months before Shepard was murdered, James Byrd, Jr. was murdered by white supremacists. After their deaths, @HRC joined both families to advocate for a federal hate crimes law, which led to the passage of the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act in 2009.

        4/ Too many in the #LGBTQ community, particularly Black transgender women, are facing an epidemic of violence. As we mourn those in our communities we have lost, we will honor them with action. #EraseHate

        5/ ➡️ Local & state law enforcement must expand trainings and infrastructure so they can better serve diverse communities and report on the extent of anti-#LGBTQ violence. ➡️ State legislatures must pass inclusive non-discrimination protections and hate crimes laws.

        6/ The U.S. Senate must pass the #EqualityAct to provide explicit protections for LGBTQ people nationwide. Lawmakers must also act to ensure that training and data-collection around all hate crimes is mandatory, not voluntary.http://hrc.org/EqualityAct

        7/7 We must continue to honor with action the lives of Matthew Shepard, James Byrd, Jr. and all those whose lives have been ended by hate. In their memory, @HRC remains vigilant against hate and works to ensure that no one is targeted because of who they are.

        As a gay man who grew up in Wyoming I can attest that our fight here is still ongoing. WY still doesn’t have a hate crime law, and only two towns have established non-discrimination ordinances.
