I have never cried so much watching a Documentary, The way he died , what he went through that night is horrific, he seemed like such a great guy , such a good friend, so many people loved and adored him R.I.P angel you're still being remembered and you're still famous 💗 You and your family and friends have made a huge impact 💗💗💗

I am definitely going to see this for sure. My school did the Laramie Project and I was so moved by the show that I was sure that Matthew's spirit was with us every time we performed. Even though I never knew and probably never would know Matthew, I was honoured that we put his story out in my city, to make a statement. Matthew seemed like the kind of guy who I would love to be friends with and he had so much to give. Even though he's gone, his story is making a difference to everyone who hears it.

[@GiantPetRat]

The best part about this documentary is that it tells you about the really cool person behind this tragedy, which is the part most people think about when they hear his name- the hate crime itself, not Matt. The worst part... it will haunt you for days after you watch it. Maybe months. Maybe forever. Bring all the tissues.

[@repeekyraidcero]

[@rythezooguy5866]

This documentary broke my heart into pieces. It's been 3 years since I watched it and I still get upset thinking about Matt, his friends, family, and the life that was cut short. I NEVER cry watching things but this had me sobbing. I don't think I can ever let Matt go, and I never even met him. Maybe someday I'll be able to watch it again, but I don't know if I'm ready yet.

[@Dextronaut1]

it's a complete lie. he was a meth dealer, that's why he was killed

[@tommynorthwood]

His story has changed the way I live. Since I heard this story fresh in my teen years, I came out and I'm not afraid anymore. I chase the fear back into the shadows. I love you. Thank you. I'm sorry.

[@chrisitl]

Never be afraid to be who you are. Be the best you that you can be. If others won't understand you or the way you are, then that is a loss on them. We can all be loving friends, but we all have to choose to be, even if we aren't the same, that is what makes life beautiful 💕

[@teresachimuco5603]

I just finished watching this. I am lost for words. What can I say. I feel like Matthew was my friend too. I would have loved to have met him, even just for one minute. To look him in the eye and to let him know that he was loved, even by strangers. Matthew, as i write this, tears are falling down my face and out of all the emotions I feel, I feel love. You are love. Your story has changed me and the way I think. I have never felt so close to someone that was so far away from me. But I want you to know that you are loved, you are a winner and an inspiration. Long live Matthew Shepard.

[@stacehatters]

i just watche this on Netflix and couldnt comment on it so i wanted to comment on here. this is a heart warming yet horrifying documentary. i cried through most of it, to the film makers (if they ever see this comment) Thank you for making this film about Matt, i live in Australia and my sister is Gay and if anything like this happened to her id hope that id have rhe strength to go on like Matts family.

[@whippingbean4800]

,Just watched the film again and I cry everytime..... He was like so sweet and quiet... Just a great person, with a loving family and friends who loved him too.... I am not gay.... But WTF and WTH!!!!!!! Slot of my friends are gay... They have helped me though a lot of hard times.... They are the most amazing group of people /friends.... Thank for this film.... I hope all whom sees it will remember forever as I have... Thx to Ellen... Mr. Clinton, Mr Obama... Prayers to you all.... MATT... No one will ever forget you.....

Just finished. My God how my heart hurts. Im emotionally drained from the past 90 min. The images, his parents' words, their personal videos... God rest his beautiful soul

[@krypton7676]

As a Christian, I have to say, not all people who call themselves Christians speak for Jesus Christ. Jesus brought a message of love toward God & loving each other, sometimes people who go to church miss that point. I remember the day Matt was murdered, I was a sophomore in college. I was so angry at McKinney & Henderson, I remember I wish I had been there to protect Matt. I know what the Bible says about homosexuality, but homosexual wasn't the only thing Matt was; he was a son, a brother, a friend & a child of God. I hope when I get to Heaven I will see Matt & I can tell him I wish I could have known you on Earth. Having had a relationship with God as a child, I know God was angry at the killers & He cried for Matt.

[@baroquehoedown4906]

I never cry. I’ve never cried before about someone passing away, but I’ve watched this documentary crying from the beginning to the end. I’m 20 years old right now and gay. In a way I feel so connected to Matt, and I care so deeply about him yet I was only 4 months old when he was attacked and murdered. My heart literally breaks for what happened to him. I will always keep wishing none of this happened to him.

Whoever who Disliking the videos like this doesn’t have a heart! 😡

[@emmanuelkingue3268]

I am speechless, my brain completely drained out and my heart ached so much after having watched this documentary tonight. This story isn’t only about a young gay being murdered, but as well his struggles in life as gay, his fight before and after he went in the coma... This gives me so much anger, la douleur dans l'âme (a pain in my soul) just to see how unfair life is. I despise the fact that people (homophobes) use religion to express their hatred toward the LGBT community, and I despise the fact that those same people, even preachers included, have the gut to call themselves Christians. De la crasse totale (total bullshit)!!! I was just a little boy when that happened, but I can’t feel the pain so deep in my bones... May you Rest In Peace Matt!! :’(

[@memaybeyou6276]

Matthew unknowingly saved many lives through his tragedy. Many families who kicked their children out on the streets, the families who "disowned" because of the feeling of shame and disappointment .... Realized they should love their children no matter the circumstances. I don't claim or argue that my country is perfect ..... But its steps into the right direction.

[@benjaminmarker]

I've been wanting to watch the documantary since it came out, but I just simply can't. I was the same age as Matthew and I remember it clearly when I heard about his murder and it broke my heart. I had no shoulder to cry on though, as I was in a very religious and homophobic envirement at that time. I can't imagine the pain and fear he must have gone through and I can't believe anyone could do that to another human being. Rest in peace, Matthew. I'm a friend of yours.

[@sarahmariejohnson8397]

I just watched the documentary on Netflix. It was very touching. Matt had so many people who loved him from family and friends. He touched so many people's lives. I remember when this tragedy happened and was so shocked. At the time I lived in California and I was in high school. At the time it was like a trend to say you were gay or a lesbian, and everyone knew about half the people who said they were actually were not. As far as I knew, no one judged them, we just accepted them for who they were as a person. It was so amazing to see how amazing and wonderful parents, his brother, and friends were to him when he was here on Earth and even now that he's gone. He is loved very deeply still and missed by so many who care about him even though his life was taken too soon. I really agree with the priest's point of view. Just like there was way more to Matt than the world knew, there is more to his killers than what they did to Matt. Not that it justifies in any way what they did. They are people too. They have people who love and care about them as well. And we do have the right to be angry at them for their actions that took Matt's life. It was so great to see that Matt had the opportunity to have such a fulfilling life the short time he was here, more so than the average young man. his parents I cannot even find the words to describe how amazing and gracious they are just find it in their hearts not to seek the death penalty after one of his killers, even though they are for the death penalty. And for Matt's mother and father to make changes through our legislation about hate crimes in Matt's legacy to remember Matt by is one of the most wonderful things they could have done. Matt's father couldn't have said it any better, Matt always wanted to be famous, just not in the way any of us wanted. How true is that for any parent. I pray that one day everyone that knew Matt personally- family and friends- find a sense of peace and a way to forgive the two people who brought you so much heartache. And I know one day you will see your precious Matthew again on the streets of gold. Remember this- hate the sin, not the sinner... and I know it's easier said than done... God bless you all and thank you for sharing your story 'Matt Shepard Is A Friend Of Mine'

I was in the US Army at Ft Story VA when the murder occurred. This case was so significant that it was discussed by leadership in the military at every level. We were briefed in formations about it. Looking back, I am guessing they didn't want a copy cat situation-which makes sense considering the military was still "dont ask dont tell" under former President Clinton.

I'm finally getting around to reading Stephen Jimenez's very interesting The Book of Matt, which examines the Shepard case. So far, I think he makes a very good case that there was a rush to judgment to attribute Shepard's murder to a targeted act, singling out a gay man. Sometimes we need simple answers to things and the news media doesn't help. It doesn't diminish anything from Mr. Shepard's life or self-worth, but it doesn't do any good to gloss over the factors that look like they contributed to his death.

[@TheNeufin8tor]
