But why they're exempIifying
Matthew Shepard, I don't know.

:51:08
A hate crime is a hate crime.
You murder somebody, you hate them.

:51:11
It has nothing to do if you're a gay
or a prostitute or....

:51:15
I don't know.
:51:21
I don't understand.

November 29, 1998. We're about
to interview Father Roger Schmit.

:51:41
Here we go.
Two queers and a Catholic priest.

:51:46
Matthew Shepard...
:51:49
...has served us weII.
:51:52
You reaIize that? He has served us weII.
:51:55
I cannot mention anyone...
:51:57
...who has done more for this community
than Matthew Shepard.

:52:02
And I'm not gonna sit here and say,
''I was just this boId guy, no fear.''

:52:07
I was scared.
:52:10
I was very vocaI in this community
when this happened...

:52:13
...so I thought,
''ShouId we caII the Bishop...

:52:17
''...and ask him permission to do the vigiI?''
:52:20
And I was Iike:
:52:23
''HeII, no, I'm not going to do that.
:52:26
''His permission doesn't make it correct.''
:52:29
And I'm not knocking bishops...
:52:31
...but what is correct is correct.
:52:35
You think vioIence is
what they did to Matthew?

:52:40
They did do vioIence to Matthew.
:52:42
But, you know....
:52:45
Can I make this personaI?
:52:47
Yeah. Sure.
:52:49
Every time you are caIIed a fag...
:52:54
...or you are caIIed a Iez or....
:52:57
-Or a dyke.
-Dyke, yeah, dyke.
