When One LGBTQ Icon Lays Another to Rest: Bishop Gene Robinson and Matt Shepard

This week, LGBTQ icon Matthew Shepard was finally laid to rest.  He was interred at Washington, DC’s National Cathedral, as Bishop (retired) Gene Robinson, an LGBTQ icon himself officiated. Bishop Gene was a firebrand issue when he became the first openly gay Episcopal bishop years ago.

“There are three things I’d say to Matt: ‘Gently rest in this place. You are safe now. And Matt, welcome home.’ Amen.” he stated.

Tonight, we have Bishop Gene as our guest.  We will talk to him about love, spirit, historic events and his apology to those hurt by religious communities.

With co-host Brody Levesque.
