On May 17th, during the international day of fighting against homophobia in the world, the protest meeting against oppression will not be held in Georgia. Activists of the "Equity Movement" were planning to exhibit news posters in the capital instead of public demonstrations to prevent possible confrontation, but their initiative was killed by censorship.
The advertising company refused to cooperate with the organization due to the threat of vandalism. Activists accuse the government of being inactive.
"The government has not taken any step to eradicate social inequality and legends or myths against LGBT people.The company "Alma", which is actually a monopolist in this market, said that due to the vandalism threat, we will not be able to participate in the campaign. The company "Alma" revealed discriminatory treatment and we are going to appeal it in the court and protect our interests, "said Levan Berianidze, member of the" Equality Movement ".
