    When Matthew Shepard died, his parents decided to have him cremated – not wanting to open up the opportunity for vandalism. Nearly 20 years later, he will be laid to rest at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.https://n.pr/2yvYKwF

        I was on duty at Poudre Valley Hospital the night Matthew came into the ER. I can’t even begin to describe to you what those sick men did to him. I still see him in my mind today. I hope no family ever has to endure that type of agony again .

        It has haunted me since. I’ve been such an advocate for gay rights and respect since. It was nothing short of horrific.

        Matthew’s story is a stain on the moral history of this country and the fact that his parents could not lay him to rest because they feared his grave would be desecrated is a travesty that is finally being righted.

        Nine years ago I had the honor to perform in The Laramie Project - a moving theatrical script based on interviews conducted by the @TectonicTheater. RIP Matthew.

        Matthew Shepard had a terrible and horrific death. I hope his interment at the National Cathedral will help others chose a path of peace, not hate.

        A tragedy that should have never happened... perhaps it had more to do with drugs than homophobia.

        Yeah, no. but thank you for posting this. Your family will find this decades from now, and be ashamed of you.

        We live in such a hate filled world that his parents feared that some low life would vandalize Matthew's remains.
