"While we are waiting for inequalities to be corrected, we remain second-class citizens, and people are harmed every day."
She decried, among other issues, how 265 service members have been discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and how gay bi-national couples are often kept apart under current immigration law. "We need concrete action, and we need it now," Ochs said. "This is the best presidential administration I've ever lived under, and my expectations are high."
