Funny how Western media never mentioned this law was going through Georgia's parliament, yet they spent months talking about what they called the "Russian law".

MODERATORS
You must have missed it then. I've read about it several times in these articles about copying Russian laws.
No Georgia-cool (country) emote sadly
georgian here, AMA
How is the public opinion about LGBT issues in the country?
it varies a lot. outside of the capital, it's almost entirely negative. inside Tbilisi, the youth (mostly female youth) tend to be more progressive when it comes to LGBT issues.
How is the public opinion about Stalin in the country?
more positive in rural areas, more negative in urban areas, especially among urban youth.
it's extremely positive in Gori, where Stalin was born.
thanks for the reply
The only blessed non-ngo occupied countries are in latin america 
European Values required to get in the EU
While this law sadly represents the opinions and preferences of the majority of everyone everywhere, it goes explicitly against European values

Trialling fascist laws in captured states before they enact these laws in the West? 
Hexbear's obsession with the West gets exhausting
This is a known thing the imperialists do though???
captured states
Didn't know Russia was a captured state
Georgia is
If you say so. However, this law was tested in Russia first and copied by Georgia in a turn away from the west and towards Russia
This headline linking the signing of a piece of paper to the murder of a woman really rubs me the wrong way.
I'm not going to pretend anyone at the guardian has a good analysis on anything, especially trans people.
“There is a direct correlation between the use of hate speech in politics and hate crimes,” the Social Justice Center, a Tbilisi-based human rights group, said in its statement reacting to the murder.
“It has been almost a year that the Georgian Dream government has been aggressively using homo/bi/transphobic language and cultivating it with mass propaganda means,” it added.
