Matthew Shepard, died after being brutally beaten to death in the night of October 6th in Laramie, Wyoming. He was found around 6pm, 18 hours after being victim of a brutal attack in a gay hate crime.

Some quotes from the movie.

“Hate is not a Laramie value.”

“It’s live and let lived.”

“I could have…”

“Just deal with what is true, you know what is true.”

“He came into the world premature, and left the world premature.”

“Go home give your babies a hug, and don’t let a day go by without caring.”

There is nothing more to say the film says everything.
