Hundreds gather in Kathmandu for Nepal's Pride parade<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Video by AFP<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe<br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook<br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram<br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter<br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion<br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital<br /><br />Check out our Podcasts:<br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify<br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts<br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic<br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes
