Third sex launches election campaign in east Nepal 21 Mar 2008, 1615 hrs IST,PTI KATHMANDU: Sexual minorities of an eastern Nepal town, Itahari kicked off their first election rally wearing colourful dresses and playing music bands to canvass for three gay candidates. Dipak Rai and Shrawan Chaudhari, both gay, are contesting the election under the banner of Nepal Communist Party (United) and while the third, Suryanarayan Chaudhari is contesting as an independent candidate. The campaign jointly organized by Blue Diamond Society and Human Welfare Society with a dancing group has helped in warming up election climate in the district, a participant said. Hundreds of demonstrators participated in the rally carrying placard with the slogan "rights to sexual minorities," "gay freedom" and "equal status to third sex in the constitution." The three candidates are representing some 4,000 lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-sexual communities residing in the district. A landmark ruling of Nepal Supreme Court in favour of third sex, which includes lesbians, gays, bisexuals and intersexuals, in December last year granted them recognition and directed the government to promulgate a new act or amend the existing ones to ensure rights of the third sex http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/Third_sex_launches_election_campaign_in_east_Nepal/articleshow/2887367.cms View/Share this post only
