The Matthew Shepard Story

[Hyde]

Sorry for the short notice, but the Matthew Shepard Story has just satrted on Zone Thriller - channel 322 on Sky, sadly it isn't available on Virgin Media anymore.


Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered because of his sexuality in 1998... he was lured out of a gay bar, tied to a fence and beaten to the point of couldn't move. He was on the fence for over 18 hours before being found. His face was covered in blood apart from where the tears had washed it from his face. At his funeral the Phelps family and followings hijacked it with an 'AIDS CURES FAGS' protest.

I've heard about this story and it is an incredibly sad tale that would fill any kind hearted soul with emotion.

It is a rather horrible story, and I challenge anyone that says they are not affected by it. :frown:

yeah... man, I almost cried when I saw the play they made of it... It's a mystery to me how some people can be so heartless.
