:37:00
I wanna get it out. I don't want it in there.
:37:05
That's a big part of it for me,
having to see that picture...

:37:11
...in my head. I just don't want it in there.
:37:18
Matthew Shepard's
the first gay person I ever saw.

:37:22
It's Kind of unbelievable to me that
I was the person that found him...

:37:27
...because the big question
with my religion is:

:37:31
Why did God want me to find him?
:37:35
''Let your light shine
:37:39
''In the darKness
:37:43
''Before the dawn
:37:47
''No more sorrow
:37:52
''In the nighttime
:37:56
''let it shine
:37:59
''Oh, lord, Iet it shine''
:38:03
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.
