Beskrivelse af Always Matt
A poignant tribute to the life of Matthew Shepard and his legacy in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, published on the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Matthew Shepard FoundationOn the night of October 6, 1998, in Laramie, Wyoming, Matthew Wayne Shepard (1976â¿1998) was brutally killed solely because he was gay. It was a shocking murder that was nationally covered in the media, and it became a rallying cry for the LGBTQ+ rights movement. In 2009, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was signed by President Barack Obama, expanding the federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victimâ¿s actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.With a foreword by Jason Collinsâ¿the first openly gay, active player in the NBAâ¿and written by Lesléa Newmanâ¿author of the Stonewall Honorâ¿winning novel-in-verse October Mourning: A Song for Matthew Shepard, and a friend of the Shepard familyâ¿Always Matt is an emotional yet ultimately hopeful look at the progress thatâ¿s been made, as well as the work that still continues, in advocating for the dignity and equality of all people. Without shying away from the pain and tragedy of his death, moving, lyrical prose and minimalist line drawings present a celebration of his incredible life. Twenty-five years after the formation of the Matthew Shepard Foundation, which dedicates its mission to erasing hate, Matthewâ¿s story still resonates for those who lived through it, and remains a vital piece of LGBTQ+ history for younger generations to learn.
