On Tbilisi Pride

Tbilisi Pride is a civic movement founded in 2019. The movement opposes homo/transphobia and fights to overcome it through exercising the constitutional right of assembly and manifestation. The goal of the movement is to contribute forming the environment, where queer people are visible, protected, accepted, free and equal. Tbilisi Pride mainly focuses on advocacy actions and carries out campaigns to empower community and to raise the awareness of the wider public. In the past two years, pride movement has been actively working with political parties in Georgia. As the result, pro-LGBTQ+ political memorandum was signed by 15 political party leaders on 17^th May 2021 (international day against homophobia). In addition to that, Tbilisi Pride has started empowering parents of queer people and aims at strengthening their role in changing environment for the LGBTQ+ persons. Lastly, the flagship activity for the movement is an organization of pride week annually. Usually pride week consists of different events and varies from cultural to political activities. Pride week is an opportunity for the community to attract mainstream media attention and reach out to the entire population of Georgia.
