The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has stated that the Parliament will not be intimidated in its efforts to enact the Promotion of Proper Sexual Human Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill (Anti-LGBT Bill).
The bill, which is now being discussed in Parliament, seeks to make actions involving LGBTQ people illegal.
The bill is just and fair, Mr. Bagbin said during a visit from several traditional leaders.such as extortion, invasion of privacy, and, in the most severe circumstances, making death threats.
“Human rights are supposed to edify, they are meant to add value to your life, they are meant to make your life enjoyable, make you healthy, make you live longer, better lives and anything to the contrary cannot be a right.
“I am very clear in my mind that what we are doing is the right thing, it is fair, and it is just and it is meant to keep the world everlasting and that is what God created the world for.”
