Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill: Richard Sky, Amanda Odoi face Supreme Court on Wednesday, May 8

Richard Dela Sky, in his action at the Supreme Court, is challenging the constitutionality of Parliament in passing the "Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.".

Sky is seeking eight reliefs, including an order that "the Speaker of Parliament contravened Article 108(a)(ii) of the Constitution, in light of Article 296(a)(b) and (c), by admitting and allowing Parliament to proceed upon and pass 'The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2024' into law, as the same imposes a charge upon the Consolidated Fund or other public funds of Ghana.".

He further prayed for "an injunction barring any attempts to enforce the provisions of 'The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2024,' particularly those criminalizing same-sex relationships and related advocacy efforts.".

A declaration that, upon a true and proper interpretation of Article 33(5) of the Constitution of 1992, in light of Articles 12(1)(2), 15(1), and 17(1), the passage of the 'Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2024' by Parliament on February 28, 2024, contravened the Constitution and is, to that extent, null, void, and of no effect.
