Judy Shepard Says National Equality March is Relevant

National PFLAG interviews Judy Sheppard

PFLAG: Do you think people in the movement should participate in the National Equality March, scheduled for October 11th in Washington, DC? Or is marching passe?

Judy Sheppard: I think the march is still relevant, but perhaps for a different reason than in the past. It sends a message to remind people that there are many things still being denied the gay community. And it shows numbers and passion. I do think we should be a presence in the Equality March. I think it would be a negative result if there wasn't support shown for the issues. It's a visibility issue now and showing a united front.
