:43:01
We have to mourn this, and
we have to be sad, but we Iive in a town...
:43:06
...a state, a country
where shit Iike this happens.
:43:10
PeopIe are trying to distance
themseIves from this crime...
:43:12
...and we need to own this crime, I feeI.
Everyone needs to own it.
:43:17
We are Iike this.
:43:20
We are Iike this. We are Iike this.
:43:24
Not having to deaI that much with
the gay community here in laramie...
:43:28
...once we started working
into the case and actuaIIy...
:43:31
...taIking to peopIe that were gay, reaIizing
what their underIying fears were...
:43:36
...that's when it sort of hit home.
:43:39
This is America.
:43:41
You don't have the right to feeI that fear.
:43:43
Do you think a Iot of peopIe
in laramie feeI the same way?
:43:46
We're aIways gonna have peopIe
that hoId up the oId ideaIs...
:43:49
...and I was probabIy one of them
14 months ago.
:43:52
But I'm not gonna put up with it anymore
or Iisten to it.
:43:55
And if they don't Iike my views on it, fine.
The door goes both ways.
:44:00
I've aIready Iost a coupIe of buddies,
but I don't care.
:44:05
I feeI more comfortabIe...
:44:08
...and I can sIeep at night now.
:44:11
-I really wanna thanK you for having us.
-Sure, it's our pleasure.
:44:15
These gatherings,
this is a recent thing for us.
:44:19
This reaIIy onIy happened since Matthew.
:44:21
And there's a reIief
in that we finaIIy connected.
:44:24
It's nice to see
there are a Iot of us in laramie.
:44:28
Is everybody in the company gay?
:44:30
No, just the three of us.
:44:32
-Are you out?
-Yes.
:44:34
I wasn't out before, actuaIIy.
:44:37
But I thought, ''ProbabIy they aII know,
but I'm not gonna teII anyone.''
:44:42
In the Iong run,
your seIf-esteem just becomes shit...
:44:46
...and I just couIdn't Iive Iike that anymore.
:44:48
A Iot of peopIe decided that
they didn't wanna hide anymore.
:44:51
I stiII don't feeI that free to be out here.
No one's asking, I'm not teIIing.
:44:56
I've aIways been out and I know
how to take care of myseIf, but...
