Nepal Welcomes Gays & Lesbians
sydney on Jan 28th 2010
It feels like about five years since I blogged, but really it’s only been a few months. It was work, the holidays, and all those other excuses I guess.
I read an interesting article in the Ottawa Citizen the other day, about how Nepal has set up a travel agency for gay and lesbians. It’s called The Pink Mountain Agency, and one of its founders is the only openly gay member of parliament in the country. There will be adventure sports, safaris, treks on Everest (you can even get married up there if you want – if your partner doesn’t die on the way up).
Although Nepal is considered old-school when it comes to homosexuality, they have become a lot more gay-friendly in the past few years.
Read the Ottawa Citizen article.
