U.S. Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Palmer, has expressed deep sadness over the Ghana’s Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill’s passage, highlighting the impact it will have on the rights of LGBTQ individuals and all Ghanaians.

She emphasized that the bill not only infringes upon basic human rights but also undermines constitutional freedoms such as freedom of speech, assembly, and the press.

Palmer warned of the negative implications the bill could have on public order, public health, Ghana’s international reputation, and its economy.

“I am saddened because some of the smartest, most creative, most decent people I know are LGBT. The bill Parliament passed takes away not only their basic human rights but those of all Ghanaians because it undermines their constitutional rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of the press. It will be bad for public order and public health. If enacted, it will also hurt Ghana’s international reputation and Ghana’s economy.”
