Trans model killed in Tbilisi after Georgia passes law imposing LGBTQ+ restrictions
Kesaria Abramidze, a renowned Georgian transgender model, was discovered murdered in her Tbilisi apartment shortly after the government enacted a controversial law restricting LGBTQ+ rights. The legislation bans same-sex marriages and gender-affirming treatments. Critics fear it mirrors Russian anti-LGBTQ+ measures and could jeopardize Georgia’s EU membership aspirations.
