Finally settled as Parliament passes Anti-LGBTQ bill
The bill proposes strict penalties, including imprisonment, for individuals engaged in activities related to homosexuality and LGBTQ+ advocacy. It also aims to prohibit the promotion of LGBTQ+ rights, organizations, and events in Ghana.
The bill has sparked significant debate and controversy, with proponents arguing that it aligns with Ghanaian cultural and religious values, while opponents argue that it violates human rights and promotes discrimination.
In Parliament today, Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin sought to make amendments to the bill during the second consideration stage.
