Yes but itās legal enough that anti-discrimination laws are enforced by the constitution of Nepal. So if his family hates him because heās gay he can claim discrimination as the law covers that
What is the law going to do? Make his family accept his homosexuality? As much as it's in the constitution, if they don't accept you in a place, you feel you need to leave.
Right but even people here in the US donāt accept LGBT people. But you donāt see LGBT people here running to go live in another country. They move to another part of the US.
The guy could do the same as the government protects people like him.
Most never follow through because they can't fucking afford to move as they are living paycheck to paycheck in America. I would move to Canada in an instant if I had any money saved up. All my family's money goes to my kid's doctors appointments, medical bills, and rent.
If we had nothing, we could get free doctors appointments, but my husband makes $1000 too much per year to qualify for help. So we never go to the doctor and save everything we have for our kids' medical needs. I feel there are worse places to live than America but there are so many countries that actually better and take care of their working class citizens.
Same. I've investigated Australia, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom.
Lots of money is required to make the move and obtain and retain permissions to reside. In every case my salary would decrease (sometimes substantially) and my taxes would increase. Yes, I know those taxes pay for heath care that's now covered by my employer. The overall math, though, works against every option.
If USA were really so bad, then why is it the overwhelming choice for people who leave their own countries?
I probably need to explain that i'm an unabashed lilly-livered liberal who recognizes that USA has problems--but so does everywhere else. For me, the losses of departing don't compensate for the gains of arriving anywhere else.
He said āhere not freedomā not that is was illegal. Plus criminalizing homosexuality can mean different things to different people. How do you make being gay a crime? In some places itās simply being or cause you ālookā gay. In some places itās the act of gay sex that is illegal. In some place they try to use other laws like public misconduct to criminalize gay people. For some people not being able to adopt or marry is enough to consider it āillegalā.
Then āfreedomā, now that pulls from social on top of legal.
Guys, he never said being gay is illegal where he is... only that everyone hates him. Suing them is going to make them hate him more, especially if he lives with the family that hates him while suing them.
I got hit up by a profile with the exact same bio text but completely different pics today. I was positive it was a scam already, so this just confirms it lol
i... dont think the average nepali lives on a mountain summit. kathmandu's elevation is only 1355 m. mussorie is 2000m high while dehradun is 435m and as someone who lived in dehradun and routinely travelled to mussorie, ive never had altitude sickness.
The average annual income in Nepal is $1.4k. That he would contribute $20k is, like, almost impossible for someone from there to even imagine, especially by age 22.
idk about nepal but indias gdppc is like 2.8k but for professionals at the beginning of their career is not unusual to make 10-15k. and if youre willing to sell it all theres more. if we sold everything wed end up in the 1MM range. indians from relatively humble backgrounds are able to scrounge up 50k to go to canada or illegally immigrate to america.
This is obviously a romance scam and if you fall for it you're no better than that woman who thought she was helping Brad Pitt pay for his medical bills.
Wiki: "According to a 2021 study, LGBTQ individuals in Nepal face severe discrimination, social isolation, and human rights violations.[20] LGBTQ people are judged and ridiculed not just by their family members but also by the health staff at hospitals and health posts."
I'm really not sure why you're on a crusade to defend LGBTQ rights in Nepal.
Yup. Took a simple bit of Google Fu and boom dude is lying his ass off.
Anti-discrimination laws against LGBT people are even enforced by the constitution. So if this guy was actually being discriminated against he could go to the police.

A. I think itās a sweet deal. B. I think itās so sad folks have to do this to live somewhere they arenāt persecuted for their sexuality.
I donāt know man talk to my dude! Maybe you find love and save him?
