The Georgian Orthodox Church has expressed its support for the newly passed "Law on Family Values and the Protection of Minors," which was recently approved by the Georgian parliament. The Church emphasized that defending traditional family values is crucial in the face of modern challenges and expressed satisfaction with the new measures.

In its statement, the Church reiterated its long-standing opposition to ideologies that it believes undermine traditional family structures. It also condemned the inclusion of LGBT-related topics in school curricula, arguing that these materials conflicted with the values of Georgian society. For years, the Church has advocated for the removal of such content from textbooks to ensure they align with traditional values.

The new law, backed by the ruling party "Georgian Dream," prohibits same-sex unions, gender reassignment surgeries, and the "promotion of LGBT" in educational institutions, media, and public spaces. The Church views this legislation as a significant step in protecting families and societal well-being. However, the law has faced criticism from the European Union and human rights organizations, which argue that it infringes upon the rights of sexual minorities.
