Am glad the worst one got two life sentences rather than the death penalty. The death penalty is too easy when you are so guilty for killing another human being! Actually, Sam Waterson, who played the father in the movie was really good.

I have always been horrified about the treatment of gays, but never thought that they would get killed. We have a far way to go but we are making progress.

Matts parents did vow to ensure that their son's life will not go in vain and am glad that they are so proactive.
