  2. Its first modern republic declared independence in 1918, before the country became part of the Soviet Union.
  3. Georgia restored independence in 1991; Tbilisi is its capital.

LGBTQ+ law, Pride and community history3

  2. while queer organizers built public visibility in Tbilisi despite recurring violence.
  3. In 2024 parliament adopted a sweeping anti-LGBTQ+ law, sharply worsening the legal and public environment for the community.
