A transgender applies make up during a picknick in the woods, organised by the Blue Diamond Society.

In Nepal sexual behavior other than heterosexual is hardly accepted and discrimination against sexual minorities is common.

Since 2001 the Blue Diamond Society, a Nepalese NGO, tries to protect the rights of gay men, bisexuals, lesbians and male sex workers.
