LGBT rights

The UK supports the right of sexual and gender minorities to march together in order to raise awareness of the specific issues that affect them.  Many individuals still face discrimination, from society and the state, based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. The UK has a long history of defending the basic rights and freedoms of the marginalised and vulnerable. We are committed to placing human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Everyone, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, should be free to enjoy the full rights and freedoms accorded to the people of Nepal.
