Anti-gay crowds break up a gay rally on International Day Against Homophobia

In Georgia today a gay rights rally was broken up before it could even begin by anti-gay protestors and church officials urging for a ban on gay parades. Some of the anti-gay protesters even brought nettle plants which they planned to beat gay activists with. The police had to escort the groups of gay activists away in order to prevent any further violence. In all, there are 28 reported injured people.

I just thought you all should know about the situation and the extreme discrimination against gay, lesbian, transsexual, and bisexual people in Eastern Europe today.

That's sick. People are marching peacefully against homophobia and then these idiots come beating them up? I mean come on, it's the 21st century what's so goddamn bad about being homosexual?

That really sucks. I feel for the LGBTQ community over there. I mean beating with nettles, seriously? It's times like this I wish karma were real.

They see the protesters and also see that:

1. The evil deviants are out and nothing bad is happening yet.
2. There don't seem to be any raptures on the horizon.
3. There hasn't been any sudden disruption of their reactionary morals.
4. The institution of marriage is just as bad as it was before the sinners started protesting.

If the righteous and faithful don't start wrecking hell soon, they'd be confronted with the fact that:

5. There was nothing wrong with gayness in the first place.

And we know they won't let that happen.

Georgia is located in western Asia, if I'm not mistaken. Close to eastern Europe, but not considered to be part of the continent.

I don't think that anti-gay sentiment everywhere is necessarily connected to the peculiar types of religion found in the US. The overwhelming majority of the population of Georgia are Orthodox, and as such don't have this US Evangelical concept of 'the rapture'.

I went there for a day trip once, and while it was only a very superficial impression it didn't strike me as being a particularly religious. Public expressions of homophobia aren't limited to religious countries, or people. In the Czech Republic, widely considered to be one of the least religious countries in the world, there have been demonstrations against pride marches, and while of course some religious people were involved in them it goes beyond that.

Fucking dogs.

Maybe someone should go and attack their shitty ultranazi patriot sermons.

Actually, it's located in the part of the Caucasus mountains that is generally seen as part of Europe.
