The bill is set to criminalize the promotion, advocacy, funding and acts of homosexuality. It stiffens prison terms up to ten years in prison for LGBTQ+ advocates and three years for anyone identifying as such. Moreover, the bill seeks to withdraw health services from this community, including HIV medication.
The bill’s main sponsor, legislator Sam Nartey George, said, “[H]omos#xuality is not a human right in Ghana, but a lifestyle choice. A sexual preference.” With this reasoning, legislators viewed preferences as not absolute, meaning they did not hesitate to pass a bill against it. Furthermore, George warned the US not to interfere with plans to pass the bill into law, threatening to halt Ghana’s business interests in the country. He said this in reference to the travel restrictions imposed upon Uganda following the signing of their own anti-LGBTQ+ law.
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, stated LGBTQ+ practices are strongly abhorred and will not be allowed to take root in the country

Ah! How can you withdraw essential services such as health services from a group of people? Not fair at all. US go soon sanction una.
ReplyDeleteAre you one of them?
DeleteAnd if US sanction them, is that the end of the world? I really like as they warned the US beforehand not to interfere. Kudos to Ghana
DeleteThe bill will not prevent homosexuality, homosexuals have alwats been on the planet. What the bill intends is for them to shut up, stay quiet. Basically, the community will have to operate in clandestine. Unless they are willing to fight it openly and take whatever comes with that.
DeleteAccording to other BVs, such wickedness is part of African values.
DeleteGood move
ReplyDeleteVery good move,God that created man and woman knows what he was doing
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough bill. Basically you can be homosexual, just keep it to yourself.
ReplyDeleteGood news.
ReplyDeleteGod will continue to be with his children who love albeit differently.
ReplyDeleteForgive them Lord, for they don't know what they are doing. They did the same to their own saviour when he walked amongst them.
God will always make a way in the wilderness.
Kudos to the Government!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
