Anti-LGBT protesters storm pride office in Tbilisi

Hundreds of LGBT opponents descended on the Pride office in Tbilisi, Georgia in their attempt to prevent a Pride march from taking place. The March for Dignity event, which was supposed to take place on June 5, was subsequently called off.

The anti-Pride demonstrators stormed the walls of the Tbilisi Pride office, vandalized it, and set fire to a rainbow flag. Tbilisi Pride released a statement soon after in which it announced the cancellation of the event and condemned both the violence and the inaction of the authorities, accusing the government and the Georgian Patriarchate of backing a ‘huge wave of hate.’

According to local news outlets, no arrests have been made by the police.
