Manage episode 329105271 series 3351251
On 4 June 2021, the organisation Tbilisi Pride announced that Pride Week in Georgia would be held in the first week of July. Pride Week is comprised of three events, the final of which is the March for Dignity. The March for Dignity is the gathering of the LGBT+ community and their allies on Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi. Far right groups have threatened the organizers and protesters. Now even members of the government expressed that they prefer the Pride events to not take place. We have invited Aia Beraia, Georgian queer-feminist and researcher at Tbilisi Pride to understand the situation more.
