Some of you may have known Matthew Shepard through his presence on AOL, or you
may have known him as a friend, classmate or family member. Matthew was openly
gay and was lured by two men, beat up and tortured then left to die. Fortunately
a guy on a bike found him but that wasn't enough to save Matthew, he died later at
a Ft. Collins hospital. Nobody knows what Matthew went through that night but I
think the entire world has felt the pain of his death, I know I have.
I made this site in his memory and to help educate people to help stop the violence.

Here's a song that reminds me of the tragedy that took Matthew's life
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you so what could I have done

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
