A brutal attack in a Hollywood alley leaves a gay, homeless teen struggling first to survive, and then to find his identity. The lesson in hate begins a journey to tolerance that ends decades later with an amazing twist of fate.

    Article about Matthew Boger with Tim Zaal (Neo Nazi)...
    "As he faced a crowd of Valencia High School students Thursday, the story was still a hard one to tell. Sitting next to him, a friend gave him a reassuring smile.

    Life has never been easy for Boger. Growing up one of seven children in a strict, conservative family, it was nearly impossible to tell his family he was gay. "

  • my eyes welled up with tears. it's hard to apologize to someone to whom you've done wrong. but it's even harder to forgive someone who's done you wrong. a beautiful story of a hate crime come full circle.

  • As an older gay man I have lived through 50 years of seeing Matthew's story over and over. That he and Tim were able to meet and resolve their issues (and that Current was willing to share this story with the world) is one of the reasons I am still somewhat hopeful for our race and for our planet.

    Form the first time I found Current TV I have believed that this channel and its remarkable staff are the very VERY best of TV today. Over and over I have loved your pods and passed on information about you to everyone who will listen. This pod moved me so deeply that I was unable to pull myself together for a long while.

    I have meant to write to you since I first came across you but have put it off. With this touching and inspiring story I was no longer able to delay thanking you. From a professional point of view I'm sure you all are seriously aware of your precedent-breaking activities. From my own personal and deeply emotional perspective, I thank each one of you for your incredible contributions to understanding, to justice, and to giving public voice to events about which the mainstream media has ether long reported superficially or been everlastingly silent.

    I send all of your my love and deep respect.

    (If I were not 75 years old I would ask you if there were any way I could be a part of what you are doing. At least I am one of your most vocal fans. You are a breath of life to many many of us, your viewers.)

  • I think the concept of tolerance is one well worth practicing. However, there is a fine line between tolerance and acceptance. Do you tolerate an individual, or do you accept them for who they are? Because homosexuality is very much a social stigma, I would say that there are more people who tolerate it than accept it as a way of life. It's nice to know that we can all acknowledge each other as human beings.
