A lesbian in Kathmandu, Nepal has been recognised as "third gender" on an official identity card.
The term "third gender" has been used in the country to refer to gay men, lesbians, and bisexual and transgender people.
On Wednesday, Bishnu Adhikari, 21, became the first person to receive such recognition in Nepal, where homosexuality and premarital sex are strongly taboo.
I think that's groovy.
Maybe I'll whine to John Kerry about it. Ted is kind of sick right now.
