Candlelight vigils were held
around the country last night.
:38:08
Denver, Fort Collins, Detroit, Chicago...
:38:11
...Washington DC, Atlanta....
:38:17
All expressing hopes for
Matthew's full recovery.
:38:19
I can't stop crying.
:38:21
This is what I was trying to stop.
:38:22
This is what I was trying to stop.
:38:24
We must do more to deal...
:38:28
...with violent bigotry, hate crimes....
:38:32
I hope that in the grief of this moment
and in the shared outrage across America...
:38:37
...Americans will once again
search their hearts...
:38:40
...and do what they can to reduce
their own fear and anxiety...
:38:45
...and anger at people who are different.
:38:48
And I hope that Congress will pass
the hate crimes legislation.
:39:08
I thinK the gay community
is taKing this as an advantage:
:39:11
''This is a good time for us to expIoit this.''
:39:14
They made it sound Iike
it was ten murders instead of one.
:39:17
They're accusing the ranchers of being
unreasonabIe and unsympathetic...
:39:21
...because of how he was--
:39:23
And what his persuasions were.
:39:25
WeII, he wouId certainIy
be weIcome in our home.
:39:28
We'd visit, sit down, have a cup of coffee.
:39:32
What did you think when you heard
two boys from your town did this?
:39:35
I certainIy don't approve of homosexuaIs...
:39:38
...but I don't think anybody has a right
to do what those two boys did.
:39:42
Where do you think that comes from,
their hatred towards homosexuaIs?
:39:46
I think what most peopIe fear
in the gay community...
:39:50
...is that sexuaIity is
their number one concern.
:39:53
Not many peopIe condone it--
:39:55
When you wear it on your sIeeve
Iike a banner....
:39:58
There's this whoIe idea,
''You Ieave me aIone, I Ieave you aIone.''
