Georgian [Orthodox] Church Holding Prayerful Protest Against U.S. and European-Backed LGBT Propaganda Events
Pravoslavie ^ | 7/5/21

On June 29, the Georgian Orthodox Church issued a statement strongly opposing the LGBTQ events that are currently being held in Tbilisi, warning against attempts to normalize sin against the wishes of the population.

Seeing that its plea was ignored, the Church issued another statement on Saturday, denouncing Western governments’ interference in the public and spiritual life of Georgia, and announcing a prayer service to be held this evening to “show the world that we are defending our dignity and that any attempt to degenerate our people is utterly unacceptable to us.”

The statement reads in full:

In the statement issued on 29 June of the current year, the Patriarchate of Georgia addressed the organizers of “Tbilisi Pride” and the heads of embassies accredited in Georgia with a call to refrain from supporting LGBTQ+ propaganda activities in order to maintain stability and civil peace in the country.

We hoped that they would not ignore the choice of the vast majority of our society, but the events of recent days have clearly shown the intense pressure which is being exerted on the country.

The drastic interference of certain embassies and some of the members of the European Parliament in our public and spiritual life is a matter of severe concern and unacceptable for our Church and our citizens, and we believe that it is an abuse of their authority.

It might be necessary to stop the recount.

So we made a thoroughfare for righteousness to gain
60 miles in latitude, 300 to the main
Perversion fled before us, for resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia

Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Tiblisi to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia
