LGBT propaganda among children is categorically unacceptable. Of course, everything should be done to oppose this within the legal framework, - Georgian Dream Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said.
According to him, LGBT propaganda has very wide support and he hopes that our country will not be requested to support LGBT propaganda among children.
"We saw the statistics: in the United States of America, 20% of the population aged 18 to 25 are LGBT persons, in France - 22%, there are countries where the rate is even higher. At one time, we were told that propaganda could not influence human orientation. It turned out to be a lie. Propaganda, of course, has an impact on people's behavior, as evidenced by the statistics that have been published. This is certainly worrying. We must emphasize that propaganda is categorically unacceptable, especially when the addressees of this propaganda are children. LGBT propaganda among children is categorically unacceptable, of course, everything must be done to oppose it within the legal framework. We see that, unfortunately, LGBT propaganda has very broad support. We hope that our country will not be asked to support LGBT propaganda among children. This would be unacceptable to us. Same-sex marriage was legalized in Estonia yesterday, and this was followed by very loud assessments from specific states," Kobakhidze noted.
In addition, he spoke about the events related to McDonald's and noted that LGBT propaganda was sneaked into the children’s booklets.
"We are not refusing Elton John, he is an extraordinary creator, artist, we respect him very much as an artist. What does the brochure and the concert have to do with each other? What does Elton John's work have to do with all this? LGBT propaganda was sneaked into booklets intended for children, there was a specific passage containing LGBT propaganda. As for his concert, I may go to Elton John's concert tomorrow," Kobakhidze said.
