Pride Parade!


Pride Parade!

In a place like Nepal, you wouldn't expect Kathmandu to be so cool about having a gay pride festival...but they were! We had two hours of undisturbed marching and whimsy before the police came in to break everything up...You know those lady boys can get rowdy!



Temples and Rainbow flags...welcome to it.


Rickshaw floats (aka third world floats)


Lady boys looking fabulous!


Pride has a name....Stu.

Even transgender cows were represented

Those signs say, "Proud to be an entertainment worker."

Fierce.

Snaak and Stu were the superstars for sure. I was there for solidarity purposes. All down New Road and Kings Way, too. The locals were loving it. It was a great celebration for the Blue Diamond Society.
