Georgia's president, Salome Zourabichvili, has returned the controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill to parliament, although it still remains a possibility that it could become law.
The legislation introduced by the ruling party, Georgian Dream, threatens to ban Pride events, gender-affirming care, and same-sex marriages, echoing oppressive laws in Russia.
Tamara Jakeli, of Tbilisi Pride, warns that this bill is the 'most terrible thing to happen to the LGBT community in Georgia,' showing the potential impact on vulnerable populations.
Zourabichvili, a noted opponent of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, had previously vetoed the 'foreign influence' law but had her decision overridden by parliament, indicating her struggle against the ruling party.
