His death inspired state and national efforts to pass hate crime legislation and numerous documentaries, plays and musical works. One of those tributes, &#8220;Considering Matthew Shepard,&#8221; brought its national tour to Transylvania on Tuesday, Oct. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choral and instrumental masterpiece tells Shepard\u2019s\nstory through an emotional, yet inspiring journey of song and simple, evocative\nstaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to bring memories, so that we wouldn\u2019t forget\nMathew Shepard and his story and that we would remember the lessons that we\nhave learned from his life and his death,\u201d composer Craig Hella Johnson shared\nduring a recent interview on WEKU\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/esweku.com\/track\/1566712\/oct-4-seg-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eastern\nStandard.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the performance, Transylvania hosted a resource\nfair that drew participants from nearly 20 community organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel Halliday \u201918 attended with Pride Community Services\nOrganization, whose mission is to provide support to the LGBTQ community both in\nLexington and the greater Bluegrass area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt really means a lot to not just know that there\u2019s\nacceptance, but to know that there\u2019s an active effort to make this community\nvisible and talk about these kinds of issues,\u201d Halliday said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mieko Smith works with the Lexington Human Rights Commission. The commission investigates complaints of discrimination in the Lexington-Fayette area in housing, employment and public accommodations, as well as complaints of discrimination based on Lexington&#8217;s Fairness Ordinance, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith said the performance and resource fair hosted by\nTransy encouraged relationship building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDiversity promotes an overall well-being within a community,\u201d\nSmith said. \u201cThese events do a really great job of promoting that and helping\nother cities and areas and towns around Lexington to see that Lexington is\nthriving because we are reaching out to communities like the LGBTQ community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunate Families, a Catholic ministry organization based\nat St. Paul\u2019s near Transy, was among the groups who met with resource fair\nattendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure that everyone, no matter what walk of life they\u2019re in, and especially young people who are in universities right now, understand that our doors are open,\u201d said Lesley Farmer, a member of Fortunate Families. \u201cWe love them, we want to celebrate with them, we want to pray with them. We just hope that they feel as welcome as we want them to feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching out across campuses, representatives from the\nUniversity of Kentucky\u2019s institutional inclusion community engagement team also\nparticipated in the fair and attended the performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe city of Lexington and the University of Kentucky both\nrecognize the real significance of the step that Transy has taken to show an incredibly\nbeautiful life, but sad death of Matthew Shepard, a milestone for both hate\ncrime legislation and LGBTQ growth and strengthening as a community,\u201d said\nLance Poston, director of UK\u2019s Office of LGBTQ* Resources. \u201cTo be able to tell\nthat story in a place like Lexington, that is 20 years later still relevant is,\nI think, a wonderful move by Transy and something that makes me proud as both a\nrepresentative of the university and a representative of the city.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenny Bishop, deputy director of communications for the City of Lexington, said: \u201cAs the city\u2019s LGBTQ liaison in the mayor\u2019s office, it means a lot to us and it means a lot to the LGBTQ community. And to be able to always remember Matthew Shepard and what happened there and bring that home is very important and very significant and we\u2019re grateful that Transy is doing that for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the resource fair and performance, composer Craig\nHella Johnson joined in a discussion on his work with audience members,\nTransylvania staff and community members, including former U.S. Attorney Kerry\nHarvey. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering Matthew Shepard brought its national tour to Transylvania on Tuesday, Oct. 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3531,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"1305,2006,1860,8523,1504,1563","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30,64],"tags":[71,61],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-3529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-new-frontiers","tag-new-frontiers","tag-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
