Georgian Dream’s homophobic and transphobic law “On the Protection of Family Values and Minors,” adopted in September, comes into force on December 2. The repressive law, introduced as part of Georgian Dream’s hate-laced election campaign, imposes several restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly for queer people, bans gender reassignment surgeries and legal procedures for gender recognition, reaffirms the ban on same-sex marriage, and introduces censorship in media and education.
