Hundreds gather in Kathmandu for Nepal's Pride parade

The annual Pride parade is back on the streets of Nepal’s capital after a two year hiatus during Covid-19. Hundreds walked the streets of Kathmandu waving flags, holding signs, and shouting pro-LGBTQIA+ slogans. Nepal has some of the most progressive policies on homosexuality in South Asia, but the law still does not allow for gay marriage. It introduced a transgender category for citizenship certificates in 2013, and passports must also include a third gender category. Despite this progress, and bureaucratic hurdles still complicate matters for some - like the transgender community. Attendees at this year’s Pride parade hope to raise awareness on equal rights.
