Ghana's Supreme Court has rejected two legal bids to block a controversial bill that punishes the country's LGBTQ+ community for engaging in sexual acts. Parliament approved the bill known as the Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill in February.
The bill calls for jail terms of six months to three years for sexual minorities who are intimate with each other. There was widespread public support for the bill in Ghana, however, it was condemned internationally for curtailing the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
The court ruled that as outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo has not yet signed the bill into law, it cannot be declared unconstitutional. His successor, John Mahama, has previously said that he does not support expanded LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana, but has not yet confirmed whether he will sign the bill in question.

If they invade our embassy and rip down a gay flag, Trump should see that they are paid for their effort.
They are showing the rest of the (universal) church what it means to be steadfast in the faith. May the Lord God bless and protect these saints.
Anthony Kennedy and his fellows on Scotus did incredible harm to American society.
Good! Don’t bend over on this! Hold on tight!
