The Laramie Project is a vulgar, violent play being promoted in schools in the United States as part of the homosexual agenda. The play is a one-sided representation of events surrounding the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming.

Developed by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project developed, this play first opened at The Ricketson Theatre by the Denver Center Theatre Company in February 2000. The play was also performed in the Union Square Theater in New York City, and again in November 2002 performance in Laramie. HBO subsequently made a movie based on the play. Since then it has spread to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of high schools across the United States, typically without parents having any idea what is in the play. Some school boards have rejected attempts to bring the play to schools in their districts.

This play distorts the facts and completely omits how "Shepard's killers, in their first interview since their convictions, tell '20/20's' Elizabeth Vargas that money and drugs motivated their actions that night, not hatred of gays."[1]
