An annual Hindu celebration in Nepal doubles as a Pride march and a hopeful moment for marriage equality.

While the country considers legalizing same-sex marriage, scores of LGBT people and supporters joined a march in Kathmandu today. The event, which the Associated Press reports coincides with the Hindu festival of Gaijatra, became a moment for optimism as the legislation's prospects in Nepal are good -- every political party reportedly supports it. The change is expected to be complete by year's end.
