Say the name Matthew Shepard to any queer person who lived through the 1990’s, or any person with an ounce of humanity, and they’re likely to get tears in their eyes. That’s the case with Christopher and Eric. As they serve up THE MATTHEW SHEPARD STORY: AN AMERICAN HATE CRIME on Discovery ID, their own memories of that painful time come bubbling to the surface, reinforcing their personal devotion to the concept of Pride Month, visibility and equality. It’s a searing comprehensive documentary about the horrific, headline-making murder that changed the nation’s understanding of what a hate crime is. But it’s final note is a controversial one. Are we losing the progress we’ve made or are we losing perspective on how much has been accomplished since Matthew’s terrible murder and beyond? Christopher and Eric share their thoughts.
