Angel Lama made history by becoming the first transgender to reach the final of a beauty contest. She is the finalist of Miss Universe Nepal. Today, when he was taking the recognition in his own hand, the impression of pride was clearly visible in his eyes.
Several countries around the world started giving place to transgender people in beauty contests a few years ago. Nepal is one of them. Nepal is after Myanmar and Mongolia. In order to participate in such competitions, the height, weight and appearance predominate at the beginning, but later the rules are waived. And after the discount, any woman between the ages of 18 and 28 now has the opportunity to participate in such events.
I participate in Miss Universe Nepal to show how diverse people are in society," the 21-year-old Lama told Reuters. If I can stand on the stand and show everyone the issue of equality, then that will be my biggest debt. The biggest crown!
Since 2008, Hindus in Nepal have come to understand and accept the LGBT issue. Earlier, in 2007, the Supreme Court issued anti-discrimination guidelines. And it shows that LGBT people have the same rights as everyone else. Then in 2010 the first Pride Parade started.
Angel is a finalist so he is floating with joy. Reporting, this message will reach everyone. Angel added that when he realized the change in himself, he told his parents everything. But since his parents do not even have a minimum education, it takes a long time to accept and understand the matter.
