"In a dramatic development, Nepal became the first country in the South Asian region to elect an openly gay man working for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people as its representative in the Constituent Assembly. This election followed another historic first by a South Asian country — a decision by the Nepali Supreme Court recognising LGBTI people as persons before the law. In short, the South Asian region is going through a dramatic transformation in terms of its attitudes towards notions of gender and sexuality, led wholly by the small Himalayan nation."
