On Oct. 8, 1998, Judy and Dennis Shepard were awakened in the middle of the night by a telephone call no parent should ever have to receive.

What they heard changed their lives forever.

Their eldest son, Matthew, was in a coma after having been brutally attacked—because he was gay. The distraught parents flew from Saudi Arabia where Dennis works to Fort Collins, Colo., and met their younger son, Logan, to visit Matthew in the hospital. On Oct. 12, Matthew passed away.

Judy Shepard shares the story of Matthew and how the tragedy has focused the nation’s attention on the growing epidemic of hate crimes when she speaks at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 3 in Clement Auditorium on the main campus of Austin Peay State University as part of the annual Student Affairs Unity Celebration. The event is free and open to the public. «Read the rest of this article»
