Matthew Shepard Foundation praises DOMA ruling

The Denver-based Matthew Shepard Foundation is praising the U.S. Supreme Court for striking down a major provision of the Defense of Marriage Act but says much needs to be done to implement the ruling. Shepard was a gay University of Wyoming student tied to a fence and fatally beaten by two men in 1998. Outrage over Shepard's murder strengthened the resolve of many to advocate for gay rights, including gay marriage. Judy Shepard says she once talked about gay marriage with her son and recalls speculating it might be legal in his lifetime but not hers. She calls it "sad and ironic" it's happening in her lifetime but not his. Jason Marsden with the foundation says federal agencies will need to make a variety of changes to implement Wednesday's ruling.
