Two members of Ghana’s LGBTQ+ community, speaking in disguise, unveiled a disturbing tale of relentless abuse inflicted by an anti-LGBTQ+ faction in the Ablekuma region.
Detailing a series of beatings, kidnappings, and extortion, the victims strongly condemned the recently proposed LGBTQ+ bill.
“Some group of antiLGBTQ+ members disguise themselves on social media specifically facebook who lure gays to an unknown area and subject them to abuse, I was caught up by this man ho refused to let me go until I released some money, I had no choice than to call my grandma who had to send me money before they released me” both individuals gave a similar account.
They argue that the legislation not only exacerbates the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community but also violates their fundamental human rights.
Expressing their hopes for the bill’s fate, both individuals vehemently criticised Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, accusing him of harbouring deep-seated animosity towards the LGBTQ+ community.
“Why Sam George hates us so much, I don’t know what we have done to offend him; that man despises us,” passionately stated one of the interviewees.
Amidst their ordeal, the LGBTQ+ community members expressed optimism that President Nana Akufo-Addo would not endorse the bill, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the rights and dignity of their community in the face of adversity.
As Ghana grapples with the complex issues surrounding LGBTQ+ rights, these firsthand accounts underscore the urgent need for a more inclusive and compassionate dialogue to foster understanding and unity within the nation.

Ask yourself why polygamy is not accepted in those countries that advocate for LGBTQ, is it not my right to marry two people, why is it people can’t think just because they offer you money, lesbianism self is better because it doesn’t have health implications much what about the gays, after having sex and your anal spinter get loose how do you control your faecal matter unless you wear diapers, look those who know about gays it’s rather the one who’s has money that’s always the man but the poor one becomes the woman, can’t you reason that this is not about human rights.
They should have more biiting than they received
