In Georgia, Church-Led 'Family Purity Day' Forces Out LGBTQ Events

Georgian religious and political leaders led a march marking Family Purity Day on May 17. The new holiday was created in 2014 in reaction to the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. Georgian LGBT activists say they no longer mark that event out of fear for their safety.

Well, if you watch the clip, it seems the Christ also gave you freedom to attack people based on which hole they poke..? Must truly be liberating to physically assault minorities with the priests leading the attack. 🙄 That's just hypocrite. You should know that Kremlin loves anyone doing that and they actually encourage that kind of division inside a country they want to control.

This is great. It really encourages me to hold a rally on racial purity here in Finland. That's not hatred or racist, just purity - don't we all like purity over dirtiness? That's protecting the traditional values of our ancesters. We actually used to have public beheadings in the middle ages, which is not that long ago, so let's bring them back now too.

Indeed they have, but consider this, Russia would be interested in sending an orbiting Georgia into the EU, as it would serve as yet another mole state for Russia in enemy territory, with which Russia can cause further divisions in the EU and block resolutions.

[@limitess9539]

​@@alordswatchman I read the Bible. I don't even care about the incest situation, but family purists might. Also, from a talking snake to forcing women to marry their rapists, the whole book is a joke. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) Nice laws man. And those same priests who study such a book, many with their expensive cars and lives of luxury, then talk of family virtues? Wake up, and realize that LGBT people are chill. I feel no ill will towards them.

[@lornamorgan3575]

They never explain what are the family values and traditions they want to protect. Nobody is stopping you from practising your religion. If you depend on it for your morals, that is very sad. Russia has left the world with a negative view of the Orthodox faith.

[@Sonofman36]

0:32 To them its the marriage of man and woman, this day is in direct defiance of LGBTQ etc movements around the world that say otherwise. And as for morals, there is nothing sad about deriving them from your religion as that is the actual original source for such things. The same can be said about deriving your morals from atheism, of which there is nothing sad either.

Não existe nada sagrado. Todas as situações podem ser alteradas. Aqueles que dizem que defendem a família e os seus valores tradicionais mentem. Eles apenas defendem o poder que têm naquele momento e que foi roubado àqueles que se encontram opromidos. Não há democracia sem o reconhecimento dos direitos das minorias. Quem quer fazer parte da União Europeia tem de aceitar direitos iguais para as diferentes orientações sexuais, para as diferentes confissões, para os diferentes grupos étnicos e identidades de género. Só assim viverão numa sociedade democrática. Neste momento o governo da Geórgia não respeita a democracia, nem a vontade de milhares dos cidadãos que se querem aproximar dos valores liberais europeus. O estado da Geórgia está mais perto do fascismo e ditadura russos, dominados por um criminoso chamado Putin.

Mr Popiashvili, Americans respect family values, do not let anyone fool you into thinking that Americans are somehow against family and tradition. Russia is working very hard to make Georgians believe that as a way to make them see the USA as an enemy.
