E11 (Part Two): Matthew Shepard – Justice, Legacy, and the Fight for Equality

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 and Brooke tell the story of Matthew Shepard, a young man who was murdered in Laramie, Wyoming, by acquaintances because he was gay and they were hateful. In the second and final episode of our series on Matthew Shepard, Emilio Ybarra, and Brooke Bovier will take you through the trial and aftermath of Matthew's murder. We truly admire the strength and perseverance of Matthew's parents, Dennis and Judy, for turning their son's horrific murder into an opportunity to protect those who could also be targeted for their sexuality or gender identity.
