okay, so this rant has been a long time coming, and here it fianlly is.
Matthew Shepherd was left beaten near death in a lonely cold field in Laramie, Wyoming in October of 1998. why? because he was gay.
now, if you want more info, google his name, but now is time for a rant.
back in about february, i was working with my theater director/teacher trying to push to get the school board to allow us to perform "The Laramie Project" a play about Matthew Shepherd. they made the decision that our town is not ready for something like that, especially following HJR2 (the amendment to our state constitution that prohibits gay marriage, ALL domestic partnerships and ALL civil unions). and what did i just find out? nearby school districts have performed pieces on teen suicide, and we were allowed to perform a show called "Juvie" all aobut kids in juvie. that encompassed manslaughter, murder, drugs, alcohol, kidnapping. but we couldn't perform something true about a young man who lost his life to two homophobes?!?!?!
okay, like i said, a rant a long time coming, but there it is
