The spokesman for the Georgia Parliament announced on Thursday that he had signed a legislative template in the law that had rejected the shielding of family values and minors from LGBT and “rejected” influence and “
Pseudo-liberal ideology
“.
Shalva Papuashvili signed the “about the protection of family values and minors” after President Salome Zourabichvili returned to parliament on Wednesday, said the spokesman for parliament.
Papuashvili expresses that the law “does not reflect current, temporary, changing ideas and ideologies,” said Papuashvili, it is based on “common sense, historical experience and centuries of Christian, Georgian and European values”.
When he acknowledges that the legislation of “some foreign partners” is criticized, he said that this still has broad public support.
He also said that the government discussed the legislative proposal with various religious denominations and the Georgian Orthodox Church when examining the legislation.
“Therefore, this law is the highest legitimacy – it is a signature that is supported by both the nation and the church,” he added.
Last month, the legislators voted in his third and last reading with 84 votes for the support of the law and none against.
The law, which was presented to the parliament in June, will offer a legal basis for movements such as the ban on LGBT assemblies, same-sex marriage and the operation of the “gender conversion”.
Legislation also prohibits the public exhibition of the LGBTQ flags and introduces the media moderation.
The majority of the opposition did not participate in the vote in the context of his boycott after the controversial transparency of the foreign influence was passed by law, which was criticized by the US and European countries.
The adoption of the draft law comes weeks before the parliamentary elections of October 26, in which the ruling Georgian dream party is looking for a fourth term.
