Georgia's prime minister has joined tens of thousands of people on march through the country's capital to mark the Day of Family Purity. The event on Friday celebrated so-called traditional family values in Georgia where animosity toward sexual minorities is strong. The march was initiated by the Georgian Orthodox Church in 2013.

FILE - Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze looks on during a press conference in Berlin, Germany, Friday April 12, 2024. Georgia’s prime minister jointed tens of thousands of people on a march through the capital on Friday, May 17, 2024, to mark the Day of Family Purity, which celebrates so-called traditional family values in the country where animosity toward sexual minorities is strong.

Liberal groups have complained that the event coincides with the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. In March, the ruling Georgian Dream Party introduced a bill curtailing LGBTQ rights. If adopted, the bill will prohibit sex changes, adoption by same-sex couples, and gatherings that could be regarded as promoting same-sex relations.
