One of Matt Shepard's friends, Jim, still livesthere and runs a personal blog. His blog's name makes me crack a smile every time I see it: "Big Gay Jim's Bigger, Gayer blog." As you can tell by the photo on the right, he was an Angel Action angel, and he's been deeply, deeply involved in Wyoming and GLBT activism since then.
I barely knew "Big Gay Jim" in college-- he was actually my boss at one point-- but he has about the quirkiest dang sense of humor of anyone I've ever met. But that's beside the point. His blog has some great first-hand stories about what he's been up to since 1998.
But it's a personal blog, y'all. If you don't like personal blogs, it's probably not your cup of tea. But he has a great perspective on the GLBT community in Wyoming and how it's been developing over the last ten years. If you want a quick link to the relevant posts from the 10th anniversary of Shepard's death, just go through UW's online archive of Shepard materials, permanently linked and archived here.
