A man protesting against the LGBT community has tried to spray himself with gasoline and carry out self-immolation in Tbilisi, Georgia.
A video doing the rounds online shows the man, who had joined the demonstration in downtown Tbilisi in front of the Georgian parliament, screaming "I don't want to live in a country of sinners".
In the video, he can be seen to have burns and sits in a fountain, where people apparently dragged him in order to put out the flames. He was later hospitalized.
Last year, protesters attacked a gay parade in Tbilisi, which led to mass clashes and arrests. As a result, the Pride demonstration in the city was cancelled.
