"We have two sons, one straight & one gay if Matt was alive today. Why aren't they equal? One of them has all the rights of an American. He’s our straight son. But our gay son wouldn’t have all the same rights. Why?" - Dennis Shepard on MSNBC. https://t.co/yU5nguZ2e7\

Exactly 22 years ago, our dear friend Matt Shepard was kidnapped, tortured & tied to a fence left to die. Every Oct, our hearts grow heavy as we remember & mourn him. We made @MyFriendMatt to share the Matt we love & miss every day. 💜#matthewshepard

“Matt’s story continues to be shared through the generations. It’s not just about Matt the person; it’s the story of hatred and differences. If you take out Matt’s sexuality and replace it with race or religion — it’s the same story.” - @WyoJudyShepard

Shepard's road was not one she wanted to walk, but the journey has given the self-proclaimed introvert a platform for an important issue: the battle against hatred and violence, something

Don't remember John Lewis only as someone who fought for justice in the 60s. He spent his life fighting for women, disabled people, LGBT people, immigrants... Four years ago, he led a sit-in on the House floor, demanding action after a gunman murdered 49 innocents at Pulse.

Naya Rivera will be missed so much by so many. She was a friend of GLAAD and even hosted the GLAAD Media Awards twice. She was kind, gracious, and personally used her platforms and voice to tell LGBTQ youth that they are loved. Our hearts are with her loved ones.💔
