Priests Break Up Gay Rights Rally Against Homophobia in [Republic of] Georgia

Priests and thousands of other Georgians broke through police barricades and forced gay rights activists to flee on Friday, cutting short their rally to mark the international day against homophobia.

Holding banners saying "Stop Homosexual Propaganda in Georgia!" and "Not in our city!" the demonstrators swarmed into a square in central Tbilisi where about 50 Georgians were rallying in support of gay rights. Police escorted the gay rights supporters onto buses and drove them away to avoid violence.

Several people, including some journalists, received minor injuries, Georgian media said.

"We won't allow these sick people to hold gay parades in our country," said Zhuzhuna Tavadze, brandishing a bunch of nettles and adding that she was ready to fight.

"It's against our traditions and our morals."

Later in the evening, rowdy crowds took to the streets and started shouting at people they thought might be homosexual.

Pink journalism at Reuters calling the actions "against a protest against homophobia". Bzzt. Wrong answer. Traditional cultural response AGAINST the "Sex Positive Agenda" that seeks to end ALL moral judgments regarding ALL sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

Some countries have seen the "slippery slope" elsewhere and are putting their collective feet down.

In some places, homosexual activism has not successfully taken root and borne fruit.

I think the Normals are going to score a lot better; they’re tired of bowing to the pervs.

I admit I thought a moment of sanity had reached the Peachtree State.

“Some countries have seen the “slippery slope” elsewhere and are putting their collective feet down. In some places, homosexual activism has not successfully taken root and borne fruit.”

Yes, good analysis.

When weeding the flower garden you sure have to watch for those nettles...Once you run into one and pull it out, you never forget to wear heavy gloves when weeding....they are horrible...

Georgia is a lovely country. Friendly people, beautiful mountains, beautiful beaches, great wine, unforgettable food. May God continue to bless them.
