Anti-LGBT protesters break up Pride festival in Georgia

July 8 (Reuters) - Up to 2,000 anti-LGBT protesters broke up a Gay Pride festival in the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Saturday, scuffling with police and destroying props including rainbow flags and placards, though there were no reports of injuries.

Organisers accused the authorities of actively colluding with the demonstrators to disrupt the festival, but a government minister said it was a difficult event to police as it was held in an open area, near a lake.

"The protesters managed to find... ways to enter the area of the event, but we were able to evacuate the Pride participants and organisers," Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Darakhvelidze told reporters.

"Nobody was harmed during the incident and police are now taking measures to stabilise the situation."

The director of Tbilisi Pride confirmed to Reuters that all the event's participants had been bussed to safety but criticised the authorities' policing of the Pride event, which she said had been held in private for a second consecutive year to reduce the risk of such violent protests.

pride, when used in this context, does not deserve a capital letter.

Long past time that the talking vermin get a dose of their own medicine. New and unused proposal: You quit and we’ll quit. You increase and we’ll double it. We’ve had enough and WILL strike back. Bring it.

I just wish it would have been our Georgia and not the former Soviet republic.

Georgia has not been destroyed by GloboHomo, yet. It is also getting closer to Russia. God bless them.

It’s their own fault.

They went from “wanting acceptance” to “demanding compliance”.

From “coming out of the closet”, to “shouting it from the rooftops”

From “we just want gay marriage” to “trans rights” and “we’re coming for your children”

The pushback is starting, and they are not going to be happy with what they brought.

“Our” Georgia would throw any anti-LGBT protestors in jail. Maybe with the help of the federal government.
