“What we have learned in our struggle to eliminate slavery, integrate schools, give women the right to vote, and allow interracial marriage is that what is popular is not always what is right.”

“It takes slow, often painful, work by individuals and organizations to encourage dialogue and advocate for change,” she said.

While debates over LGBT rights continue, "Americans can now say with confidence that LGBT rights are human rights,” she said.

Bitter said the US Consulate in HCMC recently issued the first fiancé visa to a same-sex couple in Vietnam.
