We tried to get this out in June, during Pride Month, but alas sometimes the schedule doesn't work out as planned... and shouldn't every month be pride month?
This week Ali talks about the death of 22 year old Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. Matthew was a gay man who got into a truck with two homophobes who lured him into their vehicle saying they just wanted to hang out... with the intent of robbing and killing him instead. This was one of the first cases to get any proper attention for the plight of the LGBTQAI+ community.
TW: graphic murder and sensitive material.
