Remembering Matthew, Revisited - There's a bewildering, enraging twist to the five year anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death, a rememberence already noted by John. Fred Phelph's followers have proposed a monument in Casper, Wyoming to "remind" visitors that gays are sinners who go to hell. What creates an issue is that the town currently has a statue commemorating the ten commandments in a public park, opening up issues of free speech. But, as of tonight, it seems like the town has chosen to relocate the ten commandments monument to a plaza, which hopefully should clear up some of the murky issues of free speech and prevent a monument to the capacity for human hatred and intolerance.
