SUMMARY
President of Georgia rejected referendum initiative on defining marriage between man and woman only. He did so because the Ambassador of the US in Georgia ordered him to turn down this initiative.
RESPONSE
The President of Georgia has clearly explained reasons for turning the initiative down: 1. under the circumstances when Georgian government cannot control 25 percent of country’s territory, holding referendum only on the rest of the country’s territory can give a legal argument to the occupant state; 2. Georgian legislation already defines marriage as a voluntary union for life of woman and man: bit.ly/2c4lF6V,
