European moment of truth. In Georgia, the consequences of a homophobic action are evaluated
On the night on Wednesday, an angry crowd of opponents of Pride-week, from July 1, for the first time in Georgia, tore the flag of the European Union from the flagpole near the parliament. Then, the EU star-blue flag was torn and burned publicly, in front of the television cameras. Georgian religious fanatics, perhaps, did not suspect that it was the European flag, and not the LGBT community that planned the first “parade of dignity” in the Caucasian country on July 5.
