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.

The crime is turning the murder into the hateful act of smearing heterosexuals.
“But is this meant to endorse his lifestyle?”
More like honor that lifestyle.
“But is this meant to endorse his lifestyle?”
Yep.
I guess Obama could not get him into Arlington National Cemetery so this was their second choice.
Exactly, little Matt was muling cocaine & meth from Colorado to Cheyenne.
One of his murderers was also a GAY LOVER (Imagine that). They wanted his dope and his money, the freakish murder was just some meth-crazed rage thing.
Rumor has it Matt was also a twink prostitute for the former Arapahoe Country Sheriff Pat Sullivan.
A real saint.
He wasn’t the victim of a hate crime. He was involved in drug dealing. This fact came out YEARS ago and was dutifully ignored by the media. Gotta keep the lie alive.
Uh, that would be a $3 bill. And as to being a homo, he was sort of on the fence about his sexuality.
Furthermore, the author received threats, including from a former official in the Clinton administration, for revealing facts.
Drug Dealer to be Interred at National Cathedral
WTF !?!?! Blasphemous.
No, he was not killed because he was gay - it was NOT a hate crime. There's nothing admirable about him. A shame that fake news about him is promoted.
Apart from the real reason he was killed, I think the reason the media gave the story so much publicity (when probably at least 15,000 other Americans were murdered that year) was to fire up Democrats to vote in the midterm election.
Correct. It was a drug deal gone bad and they killed him. The media promoted the faggot thing just like they did for the martyrdom of St. Skittles and the Marauding Giant of Ferguson.
