The sexual and gender minority community have expressed their dissatisfaction saying that some groups are taking over the Blue Diamond Society to fulfill their vested interest.

Former Constituent Assembly member Sunil Babu Pant had formed the Blue Diamond Society in 2001 to ensure the identity, rights and security of the community.

During a program held in Anamnagar on Monday, the participants said that they would no longer tolerate the interference.

They further said that they would not remain a mute spectator if anyone tries to control the Blue Diamond Society under any pretexts.

Maya Gurung, who performed the first legal same-sex marriage in South Asia, clearly stated that after the exit of Sunil Babu Pant, Blue Diamond is being operated by some groups to serve their personal interests.

“Opacity, exploitation and oppression have crossed the line,” Gurung said.

Mayako Pahichan Nepal Vice Chairman Madhu KC said that the time has come to unite and stand on the side of truth.

On the occasion, founder Pant said, "I established this organization to help the community in times of crisis. Now the question arises, where did that purpose go?"

Pant added, "We don't want a dispute. The buildings, institutions, and property belong to all communities, and we should move ahead accordingly."

Meanwhile, the community said that they need health, education, housing, legal aid, and mental empowerment, underscoring that their problems will not be solved by holding programs in hotels and resorts.
