IT’S AN ABBREVIATION OF MENTAL ILLNESS – Sam George defines LGBTQ+

The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, informally known as the Ghanaian anti-LGBTQ+ bill, is currently being reviewed by the Parliament of Ghana. Among its provisions, the bill seeks to criminalize homosexual activities and same-sex marriage.

According to Sam George, the bill is grounded on four foundations: legal, traditional, scientific, and religious perspectives.

The new bill is being proposed by eight MPs made up of Sam Nartey George, Della Sowah, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, Alhassan Suhuyini, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, Helen Ntoso, and Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, all of the National Democratic Congress, as well as John Ntim Fordjour of the New Patriotic Party.
