Yes, you must be eternally vigilent against gay thoughts. One single thought of a dick can turn a man gay at fifty meters.

Russian Law 2.0

To everyone who said the foreign agent law had nothing to do with Russia, that GD aren’t copying Russia’s playbook, please now proceed to the nearest sulphur baths and suck a bag of dicks.
EDIT:
> During the presentation of the proposal, he referred to the May 17 celebration of the Day of Purity of the Family and Respect for Parents, claiming that hundreds of thousands of people across Georgia celebrated in the streets and that it was a “public referendum”.
And there you have it. The real reason they made it a public holiday. Because people went out to celebrate a holiday and they turned that to mean everyone is anti-gay.
Hey, GD, while munching on that bag of dicks, consider, if hundreds of thousands of people going out to celebrate the day of the family is a referendum, wasn’t hundreds of thousands of people protesting the foreign agent law also a referendum?

Some of this nonsense is not much different than laws that are already on the books in many US States and EU Member States, but:
>* Gatherings and demonstrations are prohibited if their purpose is “to promote” a person’s identification with a gender “other than their own,” same-sex relationships, or incest;
* It will not be allowed for the station to broadcast information aimed at “promoting the identification of a person with a different sex, same-sex relations or incest.” Papuashvili said: “This prohibition applies only to the extent that it is not permissible to broadcast scenes depicting intimate relations between representatives of the same sex or scenes of incest.”
Making the Pride Parade illegal and making it illegal to broadcast the world’s most famous Georgian film are just so damn self-defeating. I’m not sure that it is really appreciated in Georgia how frankly essential both have been for defending Georgian democracy and sovereignty.
No one anywhere, save perhaps more gullible Tankies, has any illusions about what exactly the separatists are or what the Kremlin intends for Georgia. They are all obviously kleptocratic butchers with ass cavities that are oddly the exact size and shape of Putin’s hand. You have never needed to convince anyone that the whole concept of ‘South Ossetia’ is a paper-thin excuse to maintain a military beachhead south of the Caucasus Mountains, and thus be able to project force into the region to fuck shit up at will. The western world knows that Georgia is being done wrong, and has often had a substantial appetite for standing up to help.
However, the extent to which the Western world has waffled on support for Georgia since 2008 has been more or less precisely the extent to which they found themselves wondering how much the Georgian democracy is really so different from the fuckers who want to undermine it. Both the tolerance for Gay Pride parade as well as And Then We Danced were always the strongest and most interculturally translatable arguments for why Georgia is different from Russia – precisely because homosexuality is so taboo. If Georgians and the Georgian government are able to respect the fundamental human right to public assembly and expression even when they are this unpopular, that was unambiguous evidence that the Georgian rights-based democracy was in fact stronger and more secure than that of most western governments.
Georgian Dream isn’t introducing this legislation because they hate gay people, I can’t imagine they give any more of a damn about gay people living their own lives than most other Georgians. They are doing it because they hate the idea that your rights might ever stop them from doing what they please to you, they hate the idea of Georgia ever joining the EU and the accountability for their corruption that would bring, and they hate the idea of Georgia ever joining NATO and the loss of their Russian money that this would bring.

I dunno how you look at this country and think “gays are the problem that we need to solve”. I’m astounded by how shitty things are after having been gone for so long.
