| | Matthew Sheppard Tribute Page |
 | | My son, Matthew, paid a terrible price to open the eyes of all of us who live in Wyoming, the United States, and the world to the unjust and unnecessary fears, discrimination and intolerance that members of the gay community face every day. |
 | | My son, a gentle caring soul, proved that he was as tough as, if not tougher than, anyone I have ever heard of or known. |
 | | As I mentioned earlier, my son has become a symbol- a symbol against hate and people like you; a symbol for encouraging respect for individuality, for appreciating that someone is different, for tolerance. |
