Products used:

  • Junebug loose eyeshadow by Sugarpill

Matthew Shepard



There has been a song about the Matthew Shepard murder and it's called "Scarecrow" by Melissa Etheridge, check it out it's a very good song and very moving.

knowing what happened to Matthew Shepard makes me so angry and when ever I read about his murder or talk about it I get goose bumps, as a matter of fact I have goose bumps right now.

This is a story that every LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning) person should know and it should never be forgotten or silenced in my opinion.

The events leading up to Matthew Shepard's tragic murder begin the night he was assaulted on October 6 of the year 1998. Matthew Shepard had met two men at the Fireside Bar in Laramie, Wyoming. The two men were Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. They both convinced Matthew that they were both gay and later that evening they convinced Matthew to let them give him a lift. They drove him to a remote area near Sherman Hills subdivision. As soon as they stopped the car McKinney told Matthew, "we're not gay, and you just got jacked," and the struck him in the head with a pistol. They then dragged Matthew out of the vehicle and tied him to a split rail fence and tortured him. As they pistol-whipped him he begged for his life. After they beat Matthew unconscious they left him there tied to the fence. The next day a biker found Matthew and recalls finding him cover in blood, apart from two trails running down his face where his tears had washed the blood away. Apparently a doe was laying by Matthew when the biker had stopped, however the doe got up and ran of as soon as the biker walked up to Matthew. Matthew was admitted to the Hospital and put on life support. He never gain consciousness and after five days was taken off life support and died.

There has been a video recreating the assault on Matthew Shepard and the after math of his death. I have searched the web for the clip and can not find it but the name of the movie the clip is in is "The Matthew Shepard Story" and if you decide to get the video or something like that be warned that the assault scene is quite bloody and horrifying. If you can't handle bloody videos or videos of the sort then don't watch it.

My Cat Spunky



When we had found Spunky he was just a tiny kitten. We had found him when we were searching for our dog Molly, who had ran away from home (we found her). He was in some tall grass over by a tree and his arm was caught between a stiff forked plant, we think though that he had been injured even before that. We had taken him out of the grass but we left him next to the tree (due to my mom saying he wouldn't end up mking it), until the next day when we had found that he was still alive. My mom was very surprised and ended up taking him into the house and cleaned him up. We called the vet and when we spoke to the vet we found out that his arm would need to be amputated because it was pretty much dead. He underwent surgery without amnesia and the vet said he had a 50% chance of surviving the surgery, Well apparently he survived :]] and is getting around perfectly. He's very attacted to my mom.

Story About Two Gay Teens

The title of the story is called Adrian and Jared. Very original title isn't it? lol

Most Pedophiles are Gay Males?

If you're one of those people who believe that most pedophiles are gay then you need to do your research. Pedophilia has to do with power and control, and sexual attraction most of the time has nothing to do with it so saying that gender matters to a pedophile is incorrect, therefore a pedophile isn't necessarily gay if he has raped a little boy.
