I Was Casually Talking To Two LGBTQIA+ Teenagers (17 & 18) And I Mentioned The Name Matthew Shepard And

I was casually talking to two LGBTQIA+ teenagers (17 & 18) and I mentioned the name Matthew Shepard and they asked…Who is that? I was shocked and saddened by this. Please click the poll below honestly before searching up his name. A small snippet is waiting below the read line after you click. If you don't know Matthew's story and you have HBOMax or heck even Youtube…take some time to know him and his story.

Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998) was a gay American student at the University of Wyoming who was beaten, tortured, and left to die near Laramie on the night of October 6, 1998. He was taken by rescuers to Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he died six days later from severe head injuries received during the attack. Suspects Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were arrested shortly after the attack and charged with first-degree murder following Shepard's death. Both are serving consecutive life sentences. Aaron (who had beaten Matt) was supposed to get the Death Penalty but Matthew's parents asked for him to only get life in prison. Matt's dad told Aaron at the sentencing:

"I would like nothing better than to see you die, Mr. McKinney. However, this is the time to begin the healing process. To show mercy to someone who refused to show any mercy.

"Mr. McKinney, I'm going to grant you life, as hard as it is for me to do so, because of Matthew. Every time you celebrate Christmas, a birthday or the Fourth of July, remember that Matthew isn't. Every time that you wake up in that prison cell, remember that you had the opportunity and the ability to stop your actions that night. You robbed me of something very precious, and I will never forgive you for that."

I had also heard that the character of Justin Taylor on Queer as Folk was based on Matthew. AND that the reason they gave his love interest the last name of Kinney was so that Aaron's last name would now be associated with Gay Love.

I am not sure how I feel about this....I wanted a collage image of the Mobius and Loki funko pops I plan to get and my phone decided to add the line "the end of real love" to it! I KNOW Mobius visits Loki. He just sits criss cross applesauce by Loki's feet... or on his lap lol and they just let time pass. Loki might have his hands full but Mobius had his free.

I adore Anton x Carlos…BUUUUTTTTT lol I can’t help enjoy John checking out Carlos every now and then. TY winchestergifs for capturing such loveliness :) #savethewinchesters

It all goes by so fast if you don't take the time to slooooowww things down and appreciate the small details. What do you mean Eddie and Steve weren't alone on that boat?! (Stranger Things S4 E6)

I don’t know whose picture the top original one is, but I took that image and removed the ghost guys from the background. I wanted it for my laptop background and the ghost guys were bugging me lol. I also did a version for my phone background. If anyone knows the name of the original photos’ owner please let me know so I can include it here. They’ve given us such a beautiful gift. I just thought maybe someone else might like the non-ghost guys version for their laptop/phone too.

I took the images from Good Omens 2 on Prime and added the logo. Then I added the characters to the drink image to make a background for my laptop. (the logo on the bottom has a transparent background if anyone wanted to use it.)
