#70: Remembering Matthew Shepard w/ LGBTQ Activist Judy Shepard

from Freedom Writers Podcast · host Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers

On this week's episode, join Erin Gruwell for a candid conversation about healing after tragedy with the impactful LGBTQIA+ advocate and activist, Judy Shepard. Judy is the mother of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay student who was savagely tortured, tied to a fence and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming in October of 1998. In the wake of his loss, Judy and her husband embarked on a campaign for change - one that took her from her humble hometown in Wyoming, to the highest office in the land, the White House. She has been instrumental in enacting meaningful hate crime legislation on behalf of her son and the LGBTQIA+ community.
