I think that Mathew Shepard was a good person. That stupid church guy that said gays are evil, Matts in hell, and stuff like that are the evil people. Its not evil to be gay. All that stuff religious people say about gays is nothing that really is true. The religious people take in everything that the bible says about everything so hard. The bible wasnt even written by god.The people that beat Matthew up were just raised to hate gays. Its not right to kill a gay person for hitting on you, and thats not even what it sounded like. Sounds like there were just being stupid. They sounded like they were just doing it for fast cash or something. Knowing that someone would do such a thing isnt that great.

I never used it to offend a gay person. I heard at my old school millions of times. I dont think Ill use that word any more. I found out how it effects others.I think that if I were in that exact place Id be like whats up with those guys, and Id probably just think about. If I saw the beating I would o...
