October marks the 15th anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s death, a young man who was beaten, tied to a fence and left for dead in Wyoming. A cyclist discovered Matthew but he died in a hospital a few days later. This upcoming anniversary is a heartbreaking reminder to support LGBT initiatives in your community.
