THE ULTIMATE SILENCE
October 12, 1998



Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts,
The impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
Then listen close to me ...
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.

~ Shel Silverstein

Nine years ago, Matthew Shepard was murdered for being homosexual.

What will you do to end the silence?

You're right, it is important. I can't even comprehend that, it just... it's not that I don't care, because hello, GAY HERE, I feel very strongly about things like this. But when it comes to death, it's hard for it to sink in. Like, how could such a terrible thing happen? But they do happen, every day. :(

Thank you for bringing attention to this.

please don't thank me. i think it's a MUST to be posted.
if you look closer, wasn't he killed because he loved somebody? i think love is love, and neither the race nor the gender counts.
if i wanna love somebody, i love 'em.
