The following is a mail from Sunil Babu Pant of Blue Diamond Society Nepal, who wrote this from the Heathrow airport on his way back from the Phillipa Award Ceremony that BDS has recently won. Its is really a matter of concern and I feel that those who are in the UK needs to protest this.

I am "delighted???" to inform you all that I am sitting in the London
Heathrow Airport at one of the Lounge (United Airlines Lounge), trying
to access Blue Diamond Society's website (to see the update, as our
friends from Nepal just uploaded the announcement of first ever LGBT
film festival in Nepal), but as soon as I enter address:
*www.bds.org.np* <http://mail.google.com/mail/www.bds.org.np>, a window
pups up and tells me the following:
"Access Denied
The SiteCoach thinks this website contains content harmful to the
young public. This page was blocked.
Reason: Domain with forbidden contents"
Then I clicked 'OK' and the following appeared:
"Access restricted
The access to the address above is restricted.
Accordingly to our harmful content database SiteCoach does not allow
you to visit this page!
«..back "
And I tried other LGBT related web sites including *www.ilga.org*<http://mail.google.com/mail/www.ilga.org>,
*www.arc-international.net*<http://mail.google.com/mail/www.arc-international.net>,
*www.petertatchell.net* <http://mail.google.com/mail/www.petertatchell.net>, *www.gaytimes.co.uk* <http://mail.google.com/mail/www.gaytimes.co.uk>,
*www.iglhrc.org* <http://mail.google.com/mail/www.iglhrc.org> and more and
all these website were/are not accessible
because of "Harmful Contents".
This is dreadful...
I am really upset and demand British Government and BAA to end such
discriminatory practice immediately.
