TBILISI, Georgia—Thousands of anti-gay protestors from the Orthodox Church met head-on with LGBT activists on the main street of the capital city of Tbilisi as their annual Gay Pride Parade was about to begin. Some of the anti-gay organizers carried thistle branches with the intent of inflicting as much bodily harm on the LGBT community as possible.

It’s also a metaphysical question as to whether today’s LGBT community rejects the one thing that made Harvey Milk so successful, charisma, or whether Americans now worship cynicism much more than simply believing in the qualities of leadership anymore.
