#MatthewShepard I think if you often. You stuck to me. Our problem is not diversity. It’s intolerance.

#WorldAIDSDay #MatthewShepard #RosaParksDay So much to remember today. The pain of losing Matthew to evil hatred. The example of Rosa is fighting for your rights. The battle against AIDS and the hope of the new CRISPR treatment.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2009, #BarackObama signed into law an extension of protected status under #HateCrimes law for #gender identity and #SexualOrientation. Named for #MatthewShepard and #JamesByrdJr, it continues to infuriate the #neofascist right, who miss their legal terror.
I watched several films in celebration of LGBTQ History Month.
I recommend them for anyone, whether they're in the Queer Community or not.

October is LGBTQ History Month.
It's also the anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard, as well as the hate crime law passed due to the brutal attack.

TY for posting. The world must remember Matthew Shepard & his mother's relentless campaign that resulted in federal hate crime laws signed by President Obama. Grateful he's part of the NO PLACE FOR HATE Curriculum the ADL created for schools. This video says it all. #MatthewShepard #DanielPearl
This was truly a sad day. No civilized society should allow such hate to exist. #MatthewShepard
