Angel Lama - First Trans Beauty Finalist In Miss Universe Nepal Contest

Angel Lama has created history after becoming the first transgender woman to walk the ramp of Miss Universe Nepal finals on December 30. Reportedly, Nepal is the only third Asian country, after Myanmar and Mongolia, to allow trans women's participation in their national pageants. Nagma Shrestha, national director of Miss Nepal organisation, said, "everyone is equal, whatever their sexual orientation." The changed rules allowing trans women to participate in the pageant aims to "amplify" inclusivity.
