The brutal attack in 1998 on Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, shocked the American conscience, bringing attention to crime against gender and sexual minorities.

Johnson, the host of the Beyond the Rainbow podcast, to discuss her efforts to build awareness of many of these little-known cases.
