      The LGBT+ situation in Armenia is bad, but not *this* bad.

      Even from the safety of the diaspora, it has been painful to watch the regional backsliding of LGBT+ rights in the region.

      Armenia is decades behind the West in this regard, but compared to its neighbors? Somehow, better.

      როგორც გეი ადამიანს გუშინდელი თამაში კი გამიხარდა, მაგრამ რაღაც სულ თავში მქონდა მაინც – აი ეს ხალხი ვისთანაც ავღნიშნავ საქარათველოს გამარჯვებას, მაგათან რა პროცენტი მოაწერს ხელს დიდი სიამოვნებით ჩემს განადგურებაზე?

      If the Russian agent law wasn’t what did it, this legislation means it’s likely our last year in Georgia. We’ve been here for four years, have our businesses registered here, and our daughter was born here, but I don’t want her growing up in a country whose government so openly embraces hate.

      It’s a shame, as the Georgian people we’ve met and worked with are lovely.

      95% heterosexuelles take 5% lgbtq+ peoples human rights and call it victory, instead of pushing politicians to get real life problems of 100% our population done: traffic, healthcare, crime, education

      My unpopular opinion. I am absolutely against harassment, hate, oppression or any other type of violence towards gays, lesbians, trans etc, based on sexual preferences. Every human being that lives humbly deserves to live how he/she wants. Society needs to accept it as a normal thing.

      But. Things should come naturally. Without influence of propaganda, culture or because it’s fashionable this days. Kids should not be exposed to lgbt culture until certain age. Lgbt should not be propaganded, any gender swaps should also be absolutely banned until certain age (18-21). Such impactful decisions that can damage your body must be done when brain operates at least on 5% (you barely have any at that age).

      At the same time, if kid gives clear signs and it comes naturally, let it come. No harassment, no suppression. Let him/her be natural happy person.

      So in my opinion, banning lgbt propaganda is good. Pride month is a shit show. But any kind of violence based on sexual preference or identity is unacceptable.

      This is terrible news. An infringement on fundamental human rights just because of how people love eachother

      Actually those people who are homophobic are actually gays themselves hahaha. Either they haven’t realized it yet or they are faking…talk about hidden identity. Everyone is gay. I hate discrimination and that is what this bill is.

      Well, I’m terrified for my and other LGBT Georgians (like Me) futures 
      Oh, we’re seriously gonna turn into Russia 2.0? No one wants that.

      Hi, I’m Basil. In this year I finally moved from Russia. I am so sorry that you have a risk of falling into the pit that Russia fell into. I want to advise you to do everything possible to prevent this now. I am sure that you want to live in a civilized and normal country, and not in a country where you face a prison sentence for love. The LGBT ban is a very clear sign that the government is rotting. Do you know why the situation with LGBT people has worsened in Russia over the years since the start of the war with Ukraine? There are several reasons for this, and one of them is adherence to “traditional values” and the other reason, less obvious, is that the government is weakening and does not know how to raise its rating among the people. So they create enemies from a vulnerable group of people, and then “defeat” this self-made enemy. Do you know what this will lead to? This will lead to increased violence in society and suicide among LGBT people. This is not normal, a ban of LGBT people is always bad. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I went through. I am part of the LGBT community and living in Russia was opulent and stuffy. I want peace, I am tired of war and all this shit, fight for love

      Wow – I’m amazed by how quickly Georgia is becoming more and more like Russia at least on internal matters.

      Of course out of the many times they decided to do this was in the year where the elections are going to happen.

      Won’t be surprised if they don’t rig the elections again.

      I’m out of the loop here, what’s specifically anti LGBT about the law? I tried to read the link but it doesn’t fully explain it. Or maybe I’m too sleep deprived to understand.

      Well, isn’t the law aimed at not spreading propaganda and trying to push it into society as it has happened in some Western countries. In the US, they started to have drag queen education for children in many schools. I think this is what the law is aimed at isn’t it?
