Hey Bessie, send us a text message!

Warning: This project contains mature, sensitive, and disturbing themes.
Listener discretion is advised.

 
 Audio-Suspense Drama this festive season? Bakit hindi, Bessies?
 
 We have always championed that QUEER STORIES DESERVE TO BE HEARD.

And if there is one queer story we think you should hear, it is MATTHEW SHEPARD’s story. Matthew was a young gay man who was tied to a fence on a cold freezing night, beaten unconscious, and left to die. His face was so bloodied except for two tracks from his eyes where his tears fell. 
 
This is our loving remembrance to a brother of our community who was taken from those who loved him too soon. 
 
We will never forget, Matthew. 

Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998)

Disclaimer: This Balut Kiki Project is a 'story-telling' of the events and not a documentary, therefore a certain amount of dramatic licence, selective characterisation and story-telling (within logical reason and based on research) has been taken . This project is not a full and complete representation of the case, the people or the investigation, and therefore should not be taken as such. It is also often (for the sake of clarity, speed and the drama) presented from a single person's perspective. This project is just one possible retelling of each case.
