Ghana’s parliament on Wednesday approved a bill that will see people jailed simply for ‘identifying’ as LGBTQ+ or campaigning for queer rights.
Being gay has been illegal in the West African nation since the 19th century in a law originating from colonial times.
But lawmakers introduced the bill in 2021 to toughen the anti-LGBTQ+ laws already in the books.
The legislation, known as the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghananian Family Values Bill 2021, is among the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ measures on the African continent, according to Amnesty International.
If signed into law by President Nana Akufo-Addo, being LGBTQ+ would be criminalised and carry a three-year jail sentence.
So-called ‘promoters’ of LGBTQ+ ‘propaganda’ – from activists and donors to journalists – could be sentenced to five years.
Those found to have engaged in same-sex relations – a first-degree felony – will be thrown behind bars for five years. Cross-dressing will also be outlawed.

Yes, they are. And they’re all massively supportive of Trump.
“And yet, when muslims toss homosexuals off tops of tall buildings,...... crickets......”
They’re that crazy, they hate Christians more than the Muslims, as if they’d rather be thrown off a tall building than have someone pray for their souls.
Day by day, we see more and more evidence of the reality of Satan and proof of his existence.
Manifestations ala The Exorcist are not it. The depth of deception and cognitive dissonance that blinds people to blinding truths like that so that they engage in such hypocritical thinking, is.
NEVER thought that I’d see the day where AFRICAN COUNTRIES were teaching Western Civilization about morality...but that is how far we’ve now fallen.
“Color revolution incoming!”
Doubt it - most of the Third World now understands how the West operates and will simply do business with Russia, India, and China - ONLY.
Fascinating. Trans-activism truly is a sin and a crime.
I do wonder, however about making it illegal to be gay. Some people just are homosexuals and some of those are Republicans, don’t try to recruit straight people, etc. One of my daughters friends just flew up to help her find a new house. He owns his own real estate company in another state. I really don’t think he belongs in jail.
My MD is a Nigerian, best, smartest doctor I’ve ever had.
He probably didn’t send mail to you.
Agreed on your post. The Trans-Cult should be shut down like any other cult that does harm to its members. Same for the folks that push homosexuality on people with weak minds (kids, mentally ill adults, etc.). But yeah - what goes on in people’s bedroom - I guess I would call that their right to privacy.
It’s White Supremacy, I tells ya!
Read the context, stupid. I wasn’t referring to yours. I was referring to the post: “when muslims toss homosexuals off tops of tall buildings”
First comes the threats from the Biden regime. Then Nuland and Powers are sent in to stir up trouble and get the color revolution in motion.
It is a pattern one can expect.
Accept homo or you will be no mo.
They’re already releasing statements condemning it !
Yes, that is the beginning. They will bully and harrass from here on out.
The regime actually pushes some of these countries into the arms of Russia with their bullying.
No doubt using US AID as well like their own piggybank.
The dramatic hand-wringing is to be expected, but the narrative cannot be believed.
"Being LGBTQ+" is the constantly trotted-out code phrase that means NOTHING unless it is explained. Only BEHAVIOR can be criminalized, not who you think you are deep down inside. The bill simply criminalizes the BEHAVIOR of PROMOTION of homosexual ideology, which it should in any healthy society.
If you can't keep it to yourself, you belong in jail.
Ghana has people who are much more committed Christians than our version in the U.S.
Waaay more!
But honestly, there is another factor at play here.
Islam is creeping into Ghana, especially from the north and the border with Burkina Faso. Muslims don’t tolerate this sin either. When I say, “tolerate“ I mean they violently oppose homosexuality.
The Christian church is strong, and growing in Ghana, but there are ever increasing threats to people who are committed to the Lord.
I am happy to say I have seen many Muslims come to Christ in northern Ghana.
Calm yourself.
I hear you!
We can say the same about Russians and Romanians though.
I’ve met plenty from those nations who are wonderful people.
Guess the moral of my message is that it’s important to judge individually.
