Gay Nepal

When a Delhi High Court decriminalized homosexuality three years ago, fury at the ruling was such that Hindu and Muslim groups typically at each throat's united in opposition. However, recent plans by the government of neighboring Nepal to recognize sexual minorities haven't seen a single complaint from the country's religious organizations. 

The Home Ministry of Nepal's decision in May to provide citizenship to gays under the "others" category to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community is just the latest in a series of successes Nepal's movement has seen in recent years.

What is striking is that in Nepal, the religious groups stay out of politics even though they might not  approve of gay rights.  The fundamental spiritual tenet of tolerance overrides the urge to engage in political screeching. 

Tell that to the fucked-up religious fools in the West for whom the distinction between church and state mean nothing.  Hell, the word "tolerance" isn't even in their vocabulary.
