Matthew Shepard Act

This past week marked the historical signing into law in the U.S. of theMatthew Shepard Act, a historic step forward in the ongoing fight for LGBT rights and dignity. Although there is still much hatred and prejudice still to be overcome, for me at least it's a sign of hope that our legislators and president have finally come around to making it a crime to commit acts of hatred like those perpetrated against Matthew Shepard and many others.

Peace,
Padre Chuck
