he said that he killed him because he was on meth.... at his funeral they had people dressed as angels with made a barricade from the haters that had signs and stuff......
I know.. beautiful, that was, wasn't it? That was the part that touched me the most.. Well, the whole film did.. The
story did.. The signs were saying: "Thank God for AIDS" and all that crap.. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and I knew it was a true story.. So horrible
Yeah, the protestors at Matt's funeral were awful - 'specially the Reverend Fred Phelps, the major Anti-Homosexual proponent. The signs were absolutly disgusting - "a**l Sex + AIDS = Death" "AIDS is Gods Curse" "God Hates Fags", and the most disgusting of all, "Matt In Hell."
It's sad to see how much people can hate... Just cause people like Matt... Like us... are different. I mean, why the heck is it that youre DAMNED if youre a Homosexual, but If you Murder someone, youre soul can still be saved. I hate people like Phelps who use Religion to get their own wants; it totally bastardizes the beauty of what it really should be about...
The Angels, however, were one of the most beautiful ideas that Matt's - get this - STRAIGHT friend (In youre f***in' face, Fred Phelps), Romane Paterson developed. Phelps was just preaching his lungs out, and no one listened - the wings just blocked him out... humming Amazing Grace the entire time.
Anyways, yeah, that was one of the most powerful things in the entire Matthew Shepard story... The signs and the angels and Phelps, and Amazing Grace being used to block him out...
Gaaah, I appologize, I've been just going strong for a few minutes there. Sorry to waste so much time, but this is something very important to me.
