There's a vast spectrum of psychological and physical torture leading up to murder. It's that which creates the climate in which murder becomes acceptable, or drives its victims to suicide. I'd lay odds that Matthew Shepherd's murderes would have felt right at home among those taunting and bullying a gay kid (or an efeminete heterosexual) in high school.
