Man's death follows harassment for being gay

When Jason Marsden was invited to speak in Gillette about issues facing Wyoming’s gay community, the Matthew Shepard Foundation director saw it as an opportunity to discuss self-harm, a growing epidemic among gay youth.

The event, planned almost a year ago, is set for Wednesday, to coincide with the one-and-a-half-year anniversary of the founding of the Gillette chapter of PFLAG, a group that advocates for the gay community.
