2022 12 09 10 44 — Contestants compete in the Miss Trans Northeast 22 beauty pageant in Guwahati, India, Nov. 30, 2022. In a celebration of gender diversity and creative expression, the beauty pageant in the eastern Indian state of Assam brought dozens of transgender models on stage in Guwahati. Sexual minorities across India have gained a degree of acceptance, especially in big cities, after transgender people were given equal rights as a third gender in 2014. But prejudice against them persists and the community continues to face discrimination and rejection by their families. (AP Photo/Anupam Nath)
