:47:03
I'm gay.
:47:06
I've Iived here for many years
and I've seen a Iot.
:47:11
And I was very moved
when I saw the tag...
:47:15
...at the end of the homecoming parade.
:47:26
It was just a group of people walKing
behind a banner for Matthew Shepard.
:47:39
But the parade,
it went down to the end of the bIock...
:47:44
...made a U-turn around the bIock...
:47:46
...and I came to the other side
of my apartment...
:47:48
...to watch for it to come south
down this street.
:47:53
Maybe 10 minutes went by.
:47:59
And then I saw the most...
:48:03
...incredibIe thing.
:48:08
As the parade came down the street...
:48:10
...the number of people marching
for Matthew Shepard...
:48:13
...had grown, liKe, five times.
:48:17
Can you imagine?
:48:19
The tag at the end...
:48:21
...was bigger than the entire parade.
:48:36
I thought to myseIf:
:48:39
''Thank God I got to see this
in my Iifetime.''
:48:44
And my second thought was:
:48:48
''Thank you, Matthew.''
