Opponents of Tbilisi Pride, including clerics, gather near Rustaveli metro station

Opponents of Tbilisi Pride, including clergymen, are gathering near the Rustaveli metro station.­

They demand the cancellation of the Tbilisi Pride event.

According to Guram Palavandishvili, a representative of the Society for the Protection of Children's Rights, there may be a clash with the police.

"The propaganda of LGBT depravity is violence. As a rule, this violent act should be countered by adequate police force and they should be dispersed, their posters should be seized, and they should be removed from the area, but because the police can not do so, since the police have passed the law that LGBT lifestyle is the norm, many people come to actually replace the police.

When it happens that the police can start raiding people and they can not stop the LGBT violence, then there can be a clash with the police and if there is crowding, someone may die, someone may not withstand it. Even if the tanks are pulled out, people still will not stop. The culprits are primarily embassies and televisions. If the LGBT movement starts, we will physically prevent them from moving, we will stand on the roadway so that they do not move and we will seize their posters - this is a call and I do not know what will happen", - said Palavandishvili.

The protesters set up tents in the vicinity of the Rustaveli metro yesterday.
