!!!PLEASE READ!!!

Today, July 5th was supposed to mark the end of Pride Week in Georgia with a Pride March in the capital Tbilisi.

Homophobic Pro Putin forces and religious groups lead by Georgian Orthodox church have been making threats for the entire week that they wouldn't allow it. Today morning these hate groups stormed the offices of Tbilisi Pride and the Shame Movement, they also physically assaulted journalists and peaceful civilians. The government and police won't do anything about it. Tbilisi Pride had to cancel today's march to avoid further escalation and violence.

If you can, please consider donating to Tbilisi Pride and The Shame Movement and please reblog to spread the word!

I'm sorry!

No you aren't.
