Protesters Shut Down LGBT Festival In Georgia

Protesters Shut Down LGBT Festival In Georgia Georgia’s Tbilisi Pride event was abruptly canceled and attendees evacuated by police after thousands of anti-LGBTQ protesters invaded the festival grounds outside the capital city on Saturday. Thousands of conservative demonstrators marched through the streets of Tbilisi and, despite multiple police cordons in their way, eventually descended upon the outdoor event, tearing up the stage and setting fire to rainbow flags. While acknowledging that “nobody was hurt,” organizers complained on Twitter that they had been “compelled” to cancel because the government had “neglected to protect us from violent far-right groups and allowed the mobs to prevent us from exercising our freedom of expression and assembly.” Subscribe to RT Источник: RT News t.me/rtnews
