Dolly Parton, duh. It was Matthew Shepard’s favorite Halloween costume, and he threw on the wig three years in a row when he was a boy, getting better every year, says his mom Judy in an interview on Tuesday, the day before President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard Act. And oh, we know girl woulda done it bad ass this year.

Is this post so Queerty comes up in News-related Search Engines to capitalize on the first inclusion of lgbt in a Federal Bill in the recently signed Hate Crimes Bill because of it’s namesake? So, what is Queerty dressed as?

I find it touching to think of Matthew and how he would have enjoyed this Halloween. Whatever to the haters of Queerty. You’re forgeting there is a person behind the hate crimes bill.

And to this day the scumbags who killed Matthew are unrepentant. Aaron McKinley recentley claimed “That Judy Shepard is still talking about and needs to get over it, its been ten years!” Rest in Peace, Matthew

The first time I ever met Matthew was on Halloween night, he was dressed in a brilliant witches costume that ended up winning him the cash prize of a thousand dollars. It was an excellent costume with his face painted green.
