🕯️Who was Matthew Shepard?

Described by friends and family as kind and easy to talk to, Matthew Shepard was a college student and victim of one of the most notorious anti-gay hate crimes in American history. His memorial service garnered immense national and international media attention, which brought Matt’s story to the forefront of the fight against bigotry and hate. Just over a decade later (in 2009), the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act—a federal law against bias crimes directed at le***an, gay, bisexual, or transgender people—was passed.

The life and death of Matthew Shepard changed the way we talk about, and deal with, anti-LGBTQ+ hate in the United States. Since his death, Matt’s legacy has challenged and inspired millions of individuals to replace hate with understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

Today we remember Matthew Shepard, and share gratitude for our friends at Matthew Shepard Foundation, who continue to do such critical work in his honor.

Matthew, you are gone but never forgotten. 🕯🌈

Happy National Coming Out Day!

You don't have to come out now, or ever (straight and cisgender people don't have to!) unless you feel it will be beneficial to YOUR life and needs. You deserve love, care, and support no matter what.

In the center middle is a graphic of two smiling purple figures, one with its arm around the other. There are two rainbow flowers on either side of the word "Day". In the lower left corner is TCC's logo.

On National Coming Out Day, we celebrate the courage it takes to live authentically and recognize everyone who chooses to share their true selves with the world—whenever and however they feel safe doing so. Your identity is valid and you are loved just as you are. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤 🤎🤍

Coming out is a personal journey, and it’s one you should never feel pressured to take. Whether you're out, thinking about it, or not ready yet—PFLAG loves you, supports you, and will be here for you every step of the way.
