Today, we remember Matthew Shepard.
On Oct 6, 1998, Matthew was brutally attacked in Laramie, WY because he was gay. He was a son, brother, and friend with a whole life ahead.
We honor his legacy by standing against LGBTQ+ hate and fighting for a world where all live safely.

I've never liked the term "Disability Pride." I'm not "proud" to be disabled, but I'm also not ashamed of it. What I am proud of is being able to exist, survive, and sometimes thrive in a world that isn't nearly as accessible as it should be.

The quote is contained within a white speech bubble with a rounded black border, and the author's name, Jan Mariet, is written in black text in the bottom right corner.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dbzmdmsaz6lkhb4tv3culzme/bafkreifrxnqu4xnupp5qaykc2tx4igcxixfuihh6or5m32q6htlpuebuey)
