Video of Matthew Shepard surfaces

We are all familiar with the 3-4 photos of Matthew Shepard that have been published time and time again in the 11 years since this beautiful young man was murdered in a gay hate crime.

But I do not think we’ve ever seen video of him. That’s why the video posted on AKA William today was such a wonderful and moving surprise. Matthew and his then-boyfriend are interviewed briefly by a documentary filmmaker for a piece on Jesse Helms.

Matthew is adorable and has an adorable voice.I’m just floored by this.

Here is a LINK to this brief, but extraordinary video.
