Matthew Shepard was neither the first nor the last to die in a brutal gay bashing, yet his death, in particular, touched hearts around the world. Perhaps it was his age, 21 at the time, or perhaps it was the sheer brutality of his murder — Matt's death was far bloodier than others. The sight of his comatose body, tied to a fence in a Laramie, Wyoming field, jolted people.
