Georgia is a country at the crossroads. Physically it is sandwiched between Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Culturally, it is still trying to decide where it’s allegiances lay. In 2013, an unusual alliance formed – black-frocked priests and far right extremists – joining forces to lead a violent attack on the LGBTI community in the country’s capital of Tblisi.
But there has been some change in this past six years. Despite threats of violence, the first ever Tblisi Pride was held this year. While it was only small, their plans for the future are big. It is mainly due to a growing band or activists and advocates driving change for LGBTI people. We spoke to one such person – Giorgi Tabagari from Tbilisi Pride (https://www.facebook.com/TiflisPride/) in Georgia.
