Nepal's 16th LGBTI pride march today

KATHMANDU: The capital is going to witness its 16th LGBTI pride march today. Annually organised by the Blue Diamond Society on the day of Gai Jatra, the march will begin from Thamel and end in Tundikhel.

The procession is scheduled to start at 12:30 pm.

A memorial ceremony to commemorate the death of those belonging to the community -- who lost their lives because of sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics in the past year -- has also been planned.

Meanwhile, it has been learnt that a concert is going to be held after 3:00 pm.

In June this year, the first pride parade in the pride month was also held in the capital city that saw participation of a diverse group of people.
