According to the chairman of the "Georgian Dream" party, Irakli Gharibashvili, "all over the world, there is an unbridled campaign, unbridled propaganda, and transgenders are being shown to children in kindergartens and schools."
"As for the announced bill, this is a very important issue. I understand that, on the one hand, this is a sensitive issue for the whole society. More than 90% of our people are of the opinion that it is necessary to protect the young generation of our children and grandchildren from this pest — it must be said directly — of anti-national, anti-human propaganda. Take a look at what is happening around the world, what is trending. Unbridled campaigning and propaganda are going on all over the world. Transgenders are being brought to kindergartens and schools; children are being shown transgenders and told — everywhere, in America and Europe — that if you don't like your gender, you can change it. This propaganda has spread all over the world, and today it is an alarming situation. Therefore, it is necessary, and we had a discussion about it in the team. The parliamentary majority came up with this initiative and announced it on behalf of our team. I think the public will understand it. We also adopted the anti-discrimination law at the time. If you remember, then I voiced the initiative that was related to defining the definition of marriage in the constitution. A few years later, in 2017, the Constitution defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. These are issues that require a very serious approach," said the chairman of the ruling party of Georgia while talking to the media.
