This situation is worsened by Russian propaganda, which fuels hatred and intolerance towards the LGBT community. Recently, the Georgian Parliament passed the first reading of a law aimed specifically at restricting the rights of LGBT people. This legislation threatens to further erode the rights and freedoms of LGBT individuals, rendering them even more vulnerable to violence and discrimination. While an anti-discrimination law exists, it offers only formal protection without effectively safeguarding queer people from these new legislative threats. The current Georgian government, formed with a pro-Russian orientation, openly pursues Russia's interests. It systematically harasses and arrests activists, free thinkers, and the pro-European community, with an increasing number of people detained each day. Our Request Protection of Human Rights LGBT rights are human rights. It is crucial that the rights of LGBT individuals are protected, allowing them to live in an environment of equality. Every person deserves respect, dignity, and legal protection, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Resistance to Discrimination We condemn all forms of discrimination and violence against LGBT individuals. We call on the Government of Georgia to take responsibility and ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all. Awareness and Education We aim to raise awareness and promote understanding, integration, and acceptance of LGBT people in Georgia. Education is a powerful tool to combat prejudice and strengthen solidarity. Support and Solidarity We stand by the Georgian LGBT community in their fight for equality and justice. We call on our partners, friends, and the international community to voice their support and take action to uphold LGBT rights in Georgia. A Call to Action We urgently call on the Government of Georgia to: Reject the bill that discriminates against LGBT people. Implement proactive measures to ensure the safety and rights of LGBT individuals. Launch public campaigns that promote tolerance, diversity, and inclusion. Collaborate with national and international organizations to improve the situation of LGBT people in Georgia. Appeal to the European Parliament and Diplomatic Representatives We urge the European Parliament and representatives of the diplomatic corps to take measures against the pro-Russian government of Georgia. Raise your voices and take action to hold accountable all MPs who support this discriminatory legislation. We believe in a world where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, without fear of persecution or discrimination. Together, we can create a fairer and more inclusive society for all. Thank you for your attention and support.
