Ghana passes ‘draconian’ law making ‘identifying’ as LGBTQ+ illegal
MSN / Metro ^ | Feb 28 | Story by Josh Milton

Posted on 02/28/2024 7:21:16 PM PST by RandFan

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.

They are defining a society which does not surrender to sodomites.

I wish them well.

Ironic, isn’t it? The Satan worshipping ragheads come closer to God’s will concerning fags (cf. Gen 19, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1) than our own “mainline” denominations.

What a weird world I find myself living in when I have more in common with Ghanaians than my own Globo-homo Satan-worshipping nation!

Wonder what it takes for a White Hispanic dude to move over there?

The upside is that no one gets thrown off buildings.

If westerners went over there to help them modernize their country and build functional infrastructure, we would be “imposing” on their culture.


the point is THEY view the LBGTQXXXXX as imposing on THEIR culture.

Yep. And we’re instrumental in the split from the leftist UMC.

No, you’re wrong.

“President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said his faith in God as a Christian has shaped his professional life as a lawyer and politician which has heavily influenced his vision for Ghana and Africa’s transformation.”

I read awhile back that the Christians in Africa are generally very conservative when it comes to the Bible. Some denominations have international organizations and the African vote and input is a good push-back against the liberal churches.

We are supposed to care about a law passed in Ghana, when on this day, the CA legislature passed a law lowering the age of consent to 11. ….and not word in the news.
