Pride celebrations in Nepal
annual LGBT event in Nepal
Throughout the year, different organizations host pride parades in Nepal. Blue Diamond Society, an LGBT rights organization, in 2010 organized Gai Jatra Gay March, with most participants wearing masks to prevent being identified by suspected homophobic people. In later years, pride events were held at different times of the year. Following criticism of Blue Diamond Society for aligning pride events with the Gaijatra, several organizations began organizing separate rallies instead. All the parades by Blue Diamond Society have coincided with the Gaijatra festival. The parades end with candle-light vigils in memory of those who died in the past year, promoting equality for all.

Why this record matters
“Pride celebrations in Nepal” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pride, celebrations and Nepal provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6376962. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2020.
