CONTENT WARNING: TEXT

 

Happy Pride Everyone!!! We hope that you all feel loved and proud all month, and all year long. In this episode, listen to Emilio Ybarra and Brooke Bovier tell the story of Matthew Shepard, a young man who was murdered in Laramie, Wyoming by acquaintances simply because he was gay and they were hateful. This first episode in a two-part series tells of Matthew's life, how he came to know his attackers and the night of his murder. It is a heartbreaking tale that shows us why it is so important to raise our kids in the right way so that they are not hateful towards people different from them.
