The story
Tbilisi Pride Week in Tbilisi
Tbilisi Pride Week organises LGBTQ+ community events and advocacy in the Georgian capital each summer, operating in a considerably more contested environment than Pride events in most European Union countries given organised opposition from religious and nationalist groups in past years. Programming has at times adapted format, including more private events, in direct response to safety concerns rather than always following a conventional public march.
