Human Rights Campaign, Dennis Shepard
This ad for Human Rights Campaign hit over father's day and brought forward the father of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, who died October 12, 1998, of wounds from a gay bashing after a short coma.
With a beautiful landscape behind him, Dennis Shepard says to the camera, "You know, my biggest regret after walking into the hospital and seeing him was that I didn't tell him enough as a father that I loved him.
"The thing that I have learned most is that your son is your son and your daughter is your daughter, regardless of whether they're straight or gay."
