If anyone even suspects you are LGBT, or even support LGBT persons, you are in serious danger. The country is overrun by violent mobs right now. The police are useless too (In Batumi some visitors were beat nearly to death by some Georgian nationalists and the police response was to arrest the victims). If you are a group of the same sex, regardless of your actual orientation, Id seriously consider it.

If you are visibly straight, you might be okay, but visiting Georgia right now would be the same as inserting yourself into a group of violence talking Klansmen in West Virginia. If you fit a certain profile, youre probably okay, but do you really want to hang out with a bunch of people threatening extreme violence against people they consider outsiders?
