I have read about this for a long time now (way back to early 2008 when they were planning the changes in the constitution) but now that the new constitution is around the corner, I guess it's the perfect time to mention it. Nepal is poor, they depend on tourism, they know gays have money so: gay tourism + gay money = good economy (or at least that's their math)

I've decided not to post the article because it is quite long. I'm really looking forward to see how this turns out.

Wow, that has to be a record for fastest civil rights turnaround ever.

Hmm. Civil Rights movement + Money = PROGRESS

I agree, this'll be an interesting development to watch.

Passed away.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

I was rather surprised (although pleasantly) when I learned that Nepal wanted to legalize same-sex marriage a while back. Especially being so close to India, which only decriminalized homosexuality last year, I believe.
