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+...

The class action lawsuit, filed on September 12, 2022,...

He said, “Stealing from the public purse(as a politician) is like stealing from a blind...
