00:00 and dancers, singers, entertainers, and they were known, everybody knew they were like...
00:05 I think it's very, very concerning.
00:08 It is, and on our board, we organize queer events seriously.
00:14 Somehow, in our, like, it's on our logo, and it's quite, it's quite...
00:18 It was never easy, and Georgia was never, you know, like, very LGBTQI-friendly country, unfortunately.
00:23 But during the last two years, we see, like, political homophobia really intensify.
00:29 What we, political homophobia is when the government, when the politicians, the ruling party,
00:36 they are entire LGBT, and they make extremely homophobic comments and narratives all the time.
00:45 And we worked together to, you know, scrap everything.
00:50 Agents sold on money, I don't know how to say this.
00:54 And yeah, this is one of the walls, they, like, vandalized.
01:00 This is, like, Bašlovan Street, that is the place when, like, crazy series,
01:07 and they are really fragile, really insecure all over the place.
01:12 Also, when you enter the office...
01:14 The fact that the law was adopted, it doesn't discourage us to continue the fight, no.
01:23 We are very determined to keep the fight going.
01:27 We are going to have huge information campaigns, a lot of work in Tbilisi and in the regions,
01:34 a lot of campaigns, meetings, and so on and so forth,
01:41 in order to, you know, have the victory during upcoming parliamentary elections in October.
01:47 Our partner organizations, because we worked with them a few years ago,
01:52 they have access to any move we make, any communication...
01:56 Most of them are afraid, like, most of them are thinking to leave this country and go somewhere,
02:05 work or live, I don't know.
02:08 I know several people already bought tickets, yeah.
02:15 And I think at last, in the end, in Georgia, there will not be queer, open queer people.
02:25 This is Tbilisi, trust me.
02:28 We are making stage, big shows over here.
