A CNN interview of Ghanaian MP, Sam George, on or about October 8, 2021, over a proposed bill—the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021 (‘anti-gay bill’)—appears to have won the lead sponsor of the bill praise in some quarters in Ghana for defense of the bill.
The anti-gay bill seeks, in a nutshell, to criminalise LGBTQ+ sexual relationships and associations. The bill also criminalises directly, or indirectly a wide range of other perceived non-heterosexual conduct, vestimentary habits and any advocacy for or in support of LGBTQ+ rights or persons. Some of the bill’s proscriptions also apply to non-LGBTQ+ persons.
