YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"They're fighting a losing battle." In 2009, President Barack Obama, motivated by Matthew Shepard's senseless murder, signed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Now, Judy and Dennis Shepard react as scores of anti-LGBTQ measures are being considered and across the country. Matthew Shepard died 25 years ago this month after he was brutally beaten during a homophobic attack by two men in Laramie, Wyoming. #TodayShow
