A video capturing Ewe women joyously singing about their concerns regarding LGBTQ+ issues has set social media abuzz, shedding light on the ongoing controversy surrounding this topic.
The debate has taken centre stage in recent days, especially after Parliament’s approval of an anti-LGBTQ+ bill that now awaits the President’s approval.
President Akufo-Addo has hesitated on signing the bill into law, citing a court case initiated by journalist Richard Sky, who opposes the bill’s passage.
In the viral video, the Ewe women passionately express their views through song, lamenting, “Ghana is ruined, man marries man, woman marries woman, Ghana is ruined, we can’t recognize our old Ghana.”
This heartfelt expression has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some rallying behind the women’s stance while others finding it offensive.
As the nation eagerly anticipates President Akufo-Addo’s decision, the discourse on LGBTQ+ rights and legislation in Ghana continues to evolve and captivate public attention.
