Bridegroom Page #3

If more people would give me

a chance to be their friend,

I could show them that,

Just 'cause

I'm not exactly like them,

That I'm still

a good person.

Hi. How's it going?

what?

I'm just coming

to get the usual.

All right. Thank you.

It's kind of pathetic

If they know exactly what I get

every time.

In kalispell, seriously,

There's tons of people

at dairy queen.

It's the cool place to be.

yeah, let's see.

What?

She just closed the camera.

Oh, there's... there's...

Oh, geez.

They closed the windows.

I actually worked here,

But I didn't tell people

that I worked here.

I have to admit

That I want to be

one of those people

That people are like,

"ooh!

Whoa! He looks good. "

'cause I enjoy running,

But when I run, it's on

a treadmill in our house,

Because I do not want

people seeing me running.

I do not want people to see me,

really, at all.

The one thing that I wanted

Was just someone that I could

talk to and relate to,

That accepted me for being me.

I developed a crush

for a guy named matt parker.

And we would spend the night

at each other's houses

All the time.

We would play basketball

outside.

We were just best friends.

It was in high school

that I finally got the courage

To tell matt how I felt,

and I wrote him a love letter.

I was nervous.

I was so nervous

about giving him the letter.

But he had to tell me

that he's not gay.

And it broke my heart,

but at the same time,

I was still so happy that

he was willing to be my friend.

- There was a situation with

a couple friends in high school,

And they were questioning

his sexuality

And kind of were,

you know, mocking him,

Making fun of him,

And a couple of his friends

completely shunning him.

- I got a phone call from one

of his best friend's mother,

And she wanted me to come over.

She was very upset.

- Once my mom told me that she

was going over to matt's house,

I knew immediately

this was not gonna be good.

- It wasn't, you know,

really a love, love letter.

It was just,

you know, he admired matt,

He enjoyed his time,

And it was just, I thought,

like a good friendship letter.

- It was nothing distasteful.

It was nothing sexual.

It was just telling him

how he felt about him.

- I let her say

everything she wanted to say,

And after she was done,

I just told her,

I said, "you'll never have

to worry about this again,

Because shane will never

be around matt,

And I don't to ever hear

from you again. "

I don't want to say

what I really told her.

It wasn't polite,

and I just told her, basically,

Take the flying leap

and to leave my son alone.

- Matt's parents were

very prominent in the community.
