This strikes me as a bit of a travesty not because two women got married to each other -- I have no problems with that -- but because the donor-fueled Blue Diamond Society used two foreigners as propaganda weapons and these two foreigners allowed themselves to be used to, dare I say, meddle in the social affairs of another society.
Besides, I am not sure what cause this really helps. If I were to make a guess, Sitaram Besiyar's observation quoted above where he says "I never thought I would see such a wedding in my lifetime " probably sums up what most people in Nepal feel. I think it is a bad idea to use outsiders to set social examples. If Sunil Babu wants to set an example and really has the guts to do so, he should marry a man himself, do so at a public place like Tudikhel and invite all the CA members and maybe even the President and the ex-King to his wedding. If any publicity stunt has a chance of remotely working, that might just be the one.
