Matt’s Friend & “Freedom’s” Fools!

Week of April 20, 2015

Matthew Shepard, the icon of homophobic violence, is remembered as the guy they knew by his friend Michelle Josue and his dad Dennis in Josue's award-winning new documentary, Matt Shepard Is A Friend of Mine. (Interviewed by Steve Pride.)

U.S. Republican presidential wannabes (Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush) run rings around "religious freedom."

And in NewsWrap: Mexico's top court equalizes Sinaloa marriages, Egypt denies reentry to an allegedly gay Libyan student, Indiana struggles to regain its reputation, a children's picture book about same-gender penguin parents is banned again for its "homosexual agenda," and more news reported this week by John Dyer V and Michelle-Marie Gilkeson with Rick Watts (produced by Steve Pride, written by Greg Gordon).
