Shepard's ashes will be interred at the Washington National Cathedral following a remembrance service

It's been 20 years since Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old openly gay college student, was abducted and killed in Wyoming.

On Oct. 26, he will finally be laid to rest. Shepard's ashes will be interred at the Washington National Cathedral after a service to celebrate and remember his life.

Shepard's parents picked the Cathedral as his final resting place because he loved the Episcopal Church and felt welcomed at one he attended in Wyoming.

He should not have been murdered. But is this meant to endorse his lifestyle?

It was a drug deal gone bad, not a hate crime.

That’s the thing here.

How was it a hate crime when he was killed by his gay lover and drug dealer over a drug deal?

Agree; he should not have been murdered. And yes, unfortunately, it is meant to endorse is lifestyle. His parents could have chosen another site. This keeps his lifestyle/cause of his death front and center.

Exactly. It took a long time for the real story of this to come out and of course the MSM would and will not cover it to this day. It destroys their narrative for the LBGT causes they push.

It was used as a furtherance of his lifestyle. All crimes are ‘hate crimes,’ though our society wants to value some lifestyles above others. They found a way through the absolute stupidity and depravity of Congress itself to cause the legal system to value one type of lifestyle over another.

Yes. The drug dealing fag is officially a martyr of the left.

... a service to celebrate and remember his life

Celebrating mental illness, depravity and perversion.

Did they ever determine how many deadly viruses and bacteria he had contracted during his depraved existence?

He should not have been murdered, however his lifestyle does not earn him a place to be interred next to Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan.

He was killed by his gay lover over a drug deal.

That may, however, qualify him to be interred in the Vatican.

The truth doesn’t matter to the left, only the fake narrative.

20 years?

The extended time must have been to allow financial closure for the next of kin.

It’s kind of fitting, since the National Cathedral is actually a pagan temple.

He loved anal sex, getting wasted, and the Episcopal Church.

Just LOLOL. The future is normal people vs. everybody else.
