It wasn’t until Judy and Dennis Shepard were sitting on the plane, leaving their home state of Wyoming for the nation’s capital, carrying their son’s ashes, that the feeling sank in.
“Matt’s moving away now,” Judy Shepard, 66, recalled thinking as the flight took off earlier this week.
Twenty years after their son, Matthew Shepard, was brutally pistol-whipped and left to die on a buck-rail fence in a cold Wyoming prairie, making him a lasting symbol of the gay rights movement, his parents were on their way to lay his remains to rest — in a crypt in Washington National Cathedral.

Stonewall was a riot in a bar after they could no longer stand repression by cops..!
Wrong-o.
It wasn’t a bar. It was a BOTTLE CLUB:
For a bar u gotta have running water, and multiple exits, and a bigger bathroom, and all kinds of stuff. For a bottle club? You need almost none of that, and Stonewall was a mobbed-up outfit that wanted to keep costs low.
Stonewall made money by selling drinks, right?
Yeah, but when the mob had to deal with a closeted customer who chronically created problems at Stonewall, they’d blackmail him.
“All your friends and biz associates WILL KNOW, faggot..!”
This treatment would get rid of the customer, but not before monetizing the problem a little. Or a lot.
All the blackmailed people submitted peacefully, right?
No, one got really violent about it, and it touched off a bigger fight, a riot, more or less, and that required intervention by the cops.
Stonewall is a total lie.
The tears ... they just won’t ... come.
He shouldn’t have tried to screw over his drug suppliers.
What about Jesse Dirkhising? Will his remains be glorified by anyone but his parents?
No problem. They're being interred in an Episcopal church.
IIRC, that one gay murderer was an occasional "lover" of Matt's.
The Smithsonian was hijacked by radical leftists years ago. A real shame.
They’ll dig him up every 10 years for guilt trip reasons just like the Chicago community does with Emmett Till. Well, they ACTUALLY dug Till up once because the corrupt people running the cemetery he was buried at re-sold the plot.
Also, what about Jeffrey Curley?
Wasn’t he the guy who was murdered by his bisexual drug dealer with how he would sometimes trade sex for drugs?
“whom” not “how.”
I hate spell-check.
Yes
The Smithsonian was hijacked by radical leftists years ago. A real shame.
Yeah, I used to like their magazine. Now it’s just articles on political correctness.
Just like Scientific American ruined by liberal thinking!
SciAm in the 1980s discovered “Political Science”, they published article after article arguing with “precise political scientific certainity” that Reagan putting Pershing missiles in Europe would lead to WWIII. It didn’t or maybe I slept through it! The magazine never been the same. Every so often I pick one up and see if it worth reading and the answer is no, not at all!
NYT, 2013: Washington National Cathedral Announces It Will Hold Same-Sex Weddings
(And I am not ashamed to tell my FRiends.)
I have a family member JUST like that..!
Once a shrink or counselor get their hands on them, the past becomes a very malleable kalleidoscope, I’ll just say.
With mine?
Yes, the psychotic molester —presto-changeo— was magically transformed 100% into a VICTIM:
Most of the counseling industry is a shameless pack of aquisitive shaman con-aritists.
