Today would have been Matthew Shepard's 47th birthday. But Matthew's life was brutally cut short, in 1998, when he was just 22.
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. The Westboro Baptist church is also insanely evil.
Happy birthday Matthew and we hope you're resting in peace.
TW: graphic murder and sensitive material.
