I apologize for the delay in my posts but I was so busy with filming I couldn’t quite keep up with the blog. The Beauty and Brains contest is now over and I am back in the UK. Now I have immediate access to the internet I should catch up on events.
The first thing to mention is that Nepal’s Supreme Court took the courageous step to give full citizen rights to sexual and gender minorities. Nepal is the first country in the world to recognize third gender as a legal category. The rest of the world is still dealing in male and female. It is also the 7th country in the world to give full marriage rights to gay and lesbains, transgenders, bisexuals and intersex.
Nepal is proving to more progressive than many countries especially its neighbour India.
Sunil Babu Pant is speaking at the UN in New York this week. Nepal is the 56 country to pledge support to the gay rights statement being put out by the UN.
The winners of the Beauty and Brains are now being trained in their duties while I go back to the beginning of the contest and start the edit.
