    I remember when the 2 suspects got handed their sentence in court and I was appalled by their disgusting girlfriends breaking down in tears in court. How could anyone still be supportive over a couple soulless monsters who beat an innocent kid to death because of his sexual orientation?!! Such a tragedy

      I always thought the girlfriends should have got more then the sentence they were given. I believe one of them is dead now through an illness.

    R.I.P. Matthew. He definitely did not deserve to die such a horrific, horrible death! At least he is in the Lord,s care now. Thanks again Steve for taking us on this trip with you. Thanks for the video of this beautiful cathedral!❤

      Most straight men could care less if a man wants sex with another man. Those who do care I always believe feel threatened by gay men because they have gay feelings themselves.

    This must have been one of the saddest, senseless and gruesome murders I ever heard about 😢. The depths of deprivation some “people” seem to be able to reach is mind boggling. Thanks for this upload, Steve. Rest In Peace, sweet Matthew 🏳️‍🌈❤️.

    I will never forget when this happend. It was a horrible hate crime that still turns my stomach to think of what two men can do to another human. The only positive is that night Matthew entered Gods arms and eternal safety and could never be harmed again.
    God bless his soul

    Thanks, for doing this honoring Matthew. It is so heart wrenching and sad what happened to him. No one should suffer as he did because, of his sexuality. Before this tragic situation happened what I've heard he went through another abusive situation in the area where he was originally from.

    Heartbreaking. I hope the beauty and peacefulness of his final resting place gives his family and friends a little comfort, at least. Nobody deserves what he went through. I know how hearing it made me feel, I can’t imagine how devastating it would have been for those who knew and loved him.
    Amazing that Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan Macy are also interred there.

If you’re ever in Southern Maryland, there’s a cemetery at Point Lookout commemorating the soil Der’s who lost their lives in the Civil War. Be safe on your journey.

    Just a suggestion Steve, if you haven't already done it, would love to see a little something on Harvey Milk. I know he doesn't have a traditional resting place but I believe some of his ashes are buried under the sidewalk in front of his old camera store on Castro Street, where he also lived upstairs, and which I visited 3 years ago. The rest of his ashes were buried off in the waters near the Golden Gate bridge in the adopted city he loved so much. I also did the tour of City Hall where his and Mayor Moscone's offices were and where the tragedies happened and it was very moving to me. Also Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio and Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera were married there. So lots of history. Being inside the mayor's office was rather eerie and sad.

    Steve, Thank you for sharing this. It brought tears to my eyes just seeing the plaque. The cathedral is awe inspiring and Matthew deserves to rest here. I am sure that it must be reassuring for his parents that he is in a safe and respectful place. I didn’t know that Helen Keller and Ann Sullivan were also buried there. Btw, I appreciate you sharing info on where you stay. We are retired and don’t want to spend our savings staying at the Ritz. We also have two small dogs, but they are very sweet and quiet! It’s also nice to see the amenities in the rooms. Safe travels!

    Hi Steve That is certainly terribly sad. There are certainly evil people in the world. Can't help wondering if there was a small voice in his head telling him not to go with those guys. Sadly we will never know. That's a beautiful cathedral. Thanks for always sharing your videos. I wonder if Jim would join you if you visited graves of famous gamers. There might be some who have passed. Ok just a thought. Enjoy the Summer which is there soon.

    I've been to the National Cathedral and it's a beautiful place I think they have tours that include going up to the top of the central tower. I didn't know the ashes of Mathew Shepard were laid to rest there. That is very appropriate. I went to a memorial service for him where I lived. Leonard Matlovich, who challenged the prohibition of gays in the military, was laid to rest in the Congressional Cemetery near the Capitol. His gravestone has a pink trangle on it and is near where J.Edgar Hoover was buried. I thought you'd like to know.
