The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) have conveyed their appreciation and contentment following the approval of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, by Parliament.
Despite criticism from various quarters, including notable figures like Professor Audrey Gadzekpo and the United States ambassador, the GPCC, in a statement, lauded the private sponsors of the bill, the Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, and all others who played a role in its success.
Recognizing the contributions and critiques from Members of Parliament and the Attorney General’s office, GPCC highlighted the efforts of the Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, for his dedication to the bill’s passage.
Emphasizing the importance of preserving Ghana’s distinctive cultural and family values, GPCC urged the President to grant assent to the bill, completing the process of making it law in the country.
As a Faith-Based Organization, GPCC expressed gratitude to all contributors to the bill’s passage and showed solidarity with other religious bodies in celebrating this achievement, believing that the bill will help uphold values crucial to the people of Ghana.
