Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay student at the University of Wyoming, was beaten, lashed to a fence and left for dead in October 1998. The killing brought a re-examination of attitudes toward gays. Today, residents lament Shepard's death but insist it doesn't define Laramie or its people. (Associated Press)
