Today marks 14 years since the passing of Matthew Shepard. What strikes me now is how vivid my memories are of that week 14 years ago leading up to today, 14 years ago. I was living on Braeside Drive, in Bloomington, in an apartment complex that I’ve done my best to forget—rarely pausing to recall […] I’ve been back from the States for over a week and while I’ve covered a lot of the trip here, already, there’s still quite a bit left to go, which may never make it on here because… well, as time passes, I have more to blog about. Clearly my favorite activity over the entire trip […]

I want to start a UW GLBT Alumni Group of some kind, modeled after ones at other universities—most notably (at least from my perspective), the one at Indiana University Bloomington. Typing the words “university of wyoming glbt” into Google (as of 31 July 2011) results in the first hit being the Matthew Shepard Wikipedia page […] Yesterday marked 11 years since the untimely death of Matthew Shepard. I hope you’ll indulge me as I tackle Matthew Shepard more deeply today as I try to explore more about what he, his life, and his death meant and continues to mean to me. As I noted yesterday, I would have more to say […] I need to clean it off.
