2021 anti-LGBTQ riots in Georgia

The 2021 anti-LGBTQ riots in Georgia was a violent counter-demonstration by far-right protesters against an attempt to hold a pride parade by pro-LGBTQ organizers of the NGO Tbilisi Pride in Tbilisi, Georgia. Anti-LGBT protesters frustrated attempts to hold a parade, attacked dozens of journalists who were covering the events and NGO offices, which resulted in the cancellation of the pride celebration after four location changes from the initial procession at Rustaveli Avenue.
