“As a young person, I feel it necessary to show the great nation that we live in that there doesn't need to be this kind of violence and hatred in our world.” Judy Shepard. 

Hello and welcome to episode thirty three of Once Upon a Nightmare. In this episode I discuss the tragic case of Matthew Shepard. I invited Seth from the Thanks for Coming Podcast to help me discuss not only what happened to Matthew, but also discuss the struggles individuals from the LBGTQ+ community face for simply being who they are.
