"Excerpt: Formed as a platform to raise awareness about the
consequences of unsafe sex and syringe-sharing, the society has grown
over the years, providing jobs and training to gays, running a hospice
for dying AIDS patients and operating a beauty salon run by members of
the community.

It also organised the first public same-sex marriage in Nepal and
spearheaded a movement to acquire citizenship for transgenders under
their own sexual identity."
