If anybody thinks life is tough for lesbians in the United States or western Europe, they should try checking out the lesbians of Nepal. Many regions and religions vilify sex between men but leave lesbianism untouched or uncondemned. In Nepal, though, society considers women to be unnatural and sick, forcing many to marry men and keep their true feelings secret. The Blue Diamond Society, a gay rights organization in that country, has started a lesbian support group. Hopefully increased recognition of same-sex relationships will slowly lead to increased tolerance.
