Today marks the Anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death. Not everyone knows the story of what happened after, that it would be 25 long years before his body would have a permanent resting spot. Because of hate. Hate for a beautiful young gentle soul that was taken too soon. #MatthewShepard #LGTBT
WE WILL NOT FORGET

On the night of October 6, 1998 Matthew Shepard was targeted, kidnapped, pistol whipped, and left tied to a fence in a remote field in Laramie, Wyoming.

He died six days later from severe head injuries in Fort Collins, Colorado. 

Both perpetrators were arrested, convicted of first-degree
murder and sentenced to consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Did you know that for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized, and when Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to
inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral. She co-officiated the service that welcomed Matthew to a forever home in the church and told the gathering, "20 years of mourning was not enough for
someone who is loved. Nor can 20 years heal the grief of such a loss."

The Washington Sun reported last week that the White House has instructed the Justice Department to hold off on attacking abortion until after the midterms. After that, they’ve promised anti-abortion leaders, “the gloves will be off.” They are just getting started. But here’s the thing: so are we.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
