Extremely disappointing to see this, this is not a Sankara thing to do at all.

    Filipino Maoists.

    Nepal is good on LGBTQ rights relatively, though the communist movement is kinda split, though their first gay politician did recently defect TO CPN (Unified Marxist Leninist)

      Nepal’s communist/maoist parties — at least the ones with power — are in name only. You can’t call parties that have unbelievable amounts of corruption and nepotism rampant in them communist — you could supply these people with enough money and they’ll forget communist ideals entirely. Not to mention that their leaders have a handful of controversies at any given time. However, the country does have LGBTQ rights in the constitution itself; but queer people can’t freely express themselves due to the backwardness of society.
