#repost @adamsouthardactor Inspiring doesn't even begin to describe the experience we had last night in Atlanta. Meeting Bruce Greenwood after watching him and a stage full of talented actors do a reading of "The Laramie Project" was icing on the cake. He couldn't have been nicer or more generous. · . . #actorslife #actor #atlanta #thelaramieproject #matthewshepardfoundation #brucegreenwood https://www.instagram.com/p/BojSdp3BW1q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fe7qkm3ivumo

😢😢😢💔💔💔 @conversiontherapydropout 23 years ago in 1998, Matthew Shepard met Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. They offered Matthew a ride home but instead drove out of town to beat, whip, and torture him. They then tied him to a fencepost to die. ⠀⠀ It was reported that Matthew's face was completely covered with blood, except for where his tears had washed it away. ⠀⠀ Never forget. ⠀ .⠀ #EraseHate #MatthewShepard #MatthewShepardFoundation #Neverforget #LGBTQ https://www.instagram.com/p/CUs7etirWIv/?utm_medium=tumblr

#matthewshepard #matthewshepardfoundation #neverforget On the night of October 6, 1998, Matthew met Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. McKinney and Henderson decided to give Shepard a ride home. They subsequently drove the car to a remote, rural area, and proceeded to rob, pistol-whip, and torture Shepard, tie him to a fence, and leave him to die–all because he was gay. It was reported that Shepard was beaten so brutally that his face was completely covered in blood, except where it had been partially washed clean by his tears. He died on October 12th 1998 This crime was the impetus for the Matthew Shepard Foundation. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF_APu8Hgm9/?igshid=1a1lbzh98zfou

Matthew Shepard's murder brought national and international attention to hate crime legislation at the state and federal levels. In October 2009, the United States Congress passed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (commonly the "Matthew Shepard Act" or "Shepard/Byrd Act" for short), and on October 28, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the legislation into law. #matthewshepard #matthewshepardfoundation #hatecrime #stopthehate #lgbthistory #LGBT #LGBTQ #gay #gaypride #pridefacts #stonewall50 #LoveIsLove #pride (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRf1uMhmV9/?igshid=jmc7s0ii53ig
