Judy Shepard is co-founder, with her husband Dennis, of the Matthew Shepard Foundation and is active in promoting social justice, diversity awareness and education, and equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. She responded to telephone calls and electronic communications from viewers who had also just seen an airing of her speaking at an event at the Salt Lake City Public Library on September 26, 2009.
