Direct discrimination - is such treatment or creation of conditions that puts a person in a disadvantageous position when enjoying the rights established by the legislation of Georgia compared to other persons in similar conditions or puts persons in an equal position in essentially unequal conditions, except for the case when such treatment or creation of conditions serves public order and the goal defined by law to protect morals has an objective and reasonable justification and is necessary in a democratic society, and the means used are proportionate to achieve such goal;
