Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has reaffirmed his commitment to passing the LGBTQ+ bill, emphasizing its importance for Ghana's cultural values and democratic principles.
Bagbin expressed his strong disapproval of same-sex relationships, stating that he would rather prefer to die than live in a society where such unions are accepted.
He made these remarks while addressing a Ghanaian community in Côte d'Ivoire, as part of his diplomatic mission to strengthen ties between Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire on January 21.
The Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, also known as the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, has been a topic of controversy, with proponents arguing it upholds traditional Ghanaian values and opponents claiming it violates human rights.
