Historic Milestone: Nepal's First Same-Sex Marriage Officially Registered

A gay couple in Nepal has become the first in the country to officially register their same-sex marriage. Nepal is one of the first Asian nations to allow same-sex marriage. The couple, Surendra Pandey and Maya Gurung, had initially faced resistance from officials but were able to register their marriage after changes were made in the registration process. Nepal has made significant progress in LGBTQ+ rights, including recognizing a "third gender" and prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
