        An unfortunate truth demonstrated by history is that people must die before there can be real change. RIP ✌️❤️

        It broke my heart to hear that his parents had been afraid of having him interred because of the threat of desecration. What a blessing this is to them and anyone who followed this story with a loving heart. Welcome home Indeed. My God loved him every single day of his life.

        I recall being so upset when this happened. I also recall how much I was overwhelmed by the Laramie Project. I'm so happy he's interred. Rest in peace with all His saints, Matthew Shepard. In @JesusOfNaz316 name, amen.

        A young man who deserved to still be among us ~ a wonderful, meaningful celebration of his importance to history for eternity. God bless his loving parents who have made a meaningful contribution in his memory for the past 20 years. May they find peace as well.

        At least show photos of the US president and first lady who must have been there, right? Fake news.

        Wyoming still doesn’t have hate crime legislation. @Liz_Cheney @SenJohnBarrasso @SenatorEnzi I know u don’t control state legislation but ur support for hate crime legislation would go a long way.

        I'm glad this brings some comfort for his parents and to everyone touched by his untimely death. I find solace in my belief that Matthew has been resting in God's loving arms for the last 20 years.
