Matthews Place Forum is dedicated to discussion about Matthew Shepard, LGBT rights, hate or bias crimes and related issues. This group is the "reincarnation" of message forums that have existed first on Bravenet and then Aimoo services.

Members MUST have a current and working email address. New Applicants must be approved by the group Owner/Administrator before they can post messages. Posts from new members are moderated for a short time. All posts need to show respect toward other forum members. Insults about other members should be avoided. Any member showing continued disrespect toward other members will have their posts moderated by the group moderators. Also, please try to keep language clean when posting to the group. Thank you.
