The National Cathedral in Washington paid tribute to Matthew Shepard this week with the installation of a plaque honoring the legacy of the slain gay student. The plaque was unveiled Tuesday at a memorial service attended by Shepard’s parents, Judy and Dennis. It is inscribed with a quote attributed to Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and a close friend of the Shepard family. “Matt, rest gently in this place,” it reads. “You are home safe now.”
