Description
My best friend and his boyfriend holding hands.That's not the focus of this though; the focus is the bracelet: "www. Matthew Shepard .org" (without the spaces, because dA auto links it..)
This is another picture for my political series for my next photography project.

For those who don't know, Matthew Shepard was a boy who was beaten to death because of his sexuality. Since his death, hate crime legislation has become a really big deal.

Today being the 15th anniversary of his death, a lot of people on Facebook will be changing cover photos and profile pics to honor his memory. I like what you did here. I hope you won't mind if I borrow it, with credit to kooldog54 on deviantart.com. Thanks!! Sonny Bellotte brlasonny913@yahoo.com

I don't mind that your best friend is gay. Love is love no matter what. We will always remember Matthew Shepard, killed because he was gay and nothing else.
