Audrey Gadzekpo, the Board Chair of the Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), asserts that the Anti-Gay Bill was approved for political motives. The bill, officially known as the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, or anti-LGBTQ bill, was passed by Parliament on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
The bill proscribes LGBT activities and criminalizes its promotion, advocacy and funding.
“I am telling you that they have passed it not for any reason but for political reasons. Mr Sam George the Chief proponent of the bill in 2015 when his candidate John Mahama was being accused of having a friend who was a homosexual sponsoring him etc etc. Sam George is on record saying that the constitution protects those rights.
“So I have to wonder why he changed his mind…What has changed? 10 years ago did he have a different morality from today, from 2021 when he proposed the bill.”
“That is why I am saying there is politics. They are walking over the bodies of vulnerable people,” she stated.
