Ghana parliament approves anti-LGBTQ law

Ghana’s parliament on Friday ‌approved a new bill that criminalizes the promotion of LGBTQ activity in the country.

The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, ​2025, passed by a voice vote after the Constitutional and Legal Affairs ​Committee unanimously recommended its adoption, first deputy speaker Bernard Ahiafor said.

The ⁠bill was introduced last year shortly after President John Dramani Mahama took office.

Lawmakers ​from Mahama’s political party, the National Democratic Congress, had been urged by religious ​leaders and other supporters of the bill to vote on it, and Mahama will now face pressure to sign.

The bill passed an earlier version of the bill in 2024, under Mahama’s ​predecessor, President Nana Akufo-Addo, but it faced legal challenges and Akufo-Addo never ​signed it into law.

The bill approved on Friday maintains the existing penalty of up to three ‌years ⁠in prison for same-sex sexual acts.

It also bans “funding, sponsorship or promotion” of LGBTQ acts, with prison terms ranging from three to five years.

And it introduces a “duty to report” prohibited LGBTQ acts to a police officer or other authorities, ​with violators facing ​up to three ⁠years behind bars.

The bill further amends Ghana’s Extradition Act of 1960 to make offences under the new law extraditable offences.

This is a wonderful news

Ghana moving forward and Nigeria now looking up to them...thanks to APC

This is very commendable

Anything that will bring morality to the society is welcome

So you mean I can’t mekwe with my fellow woman?

Way to go.

No african is in the west promoting polygamous family because the west criminalizes it.

They tell you as long as two adults are doing their things in private, then it should be allowed.

But at the same time, a man who decides to marry more than one wife is a criminal offence in their country.

But somehow, it's alright if the same man wants to marry a fellow man.

Their WAY of gay marriage is HUMAN rights. Our WAY of polygamy is human right VIOLATION.

Somehow their perverse homosexuality way is right. And our ancestral way of polygamous marriage is wrong.

let the west allow polygamy as it does not affect any body. Then we'll consider their LGBT rights.

Very commendable.

That's the way to go!

Thank you Ghana


May God bless you

So NDC dey Ghana self

When will Nigeria follow suite?
All this our audio senators and rep members, I really hope they are learning.

This is How You Know a Parliament With Sensible Wise, Discipline, Responsible ,Honest And God fearing Leadership, Unlike The Nonchalant Leading Nigeria Parliament.

God Created Man And Woman ,

Even Satan Was Not Gay, He Was Attracted to Eve Not Adam

I can remember when senate under David Mark hastily passed a law on that during GEJ administration. But terrorism and corruption is allowed to go scot-free.
Terrorism was a serious issue then, it took President Donald Trump's government to force Tinubu to act after 13-14 years.

Na we pray pass but very evil, hell better pass we country

Nigeria did pass it under GEJ

You can’t fight nature!

Ban, re-ban, abolish or condemn, you can never go against nature.

The earlier we start accepting these people, the better!

Nigeria is anti LGBTQ but we all know it’s ineffective. They still have a big community and networks that extends far into the corridors of power.

Faggøt spotted

Go to the west and rest there

That’s African culture.

African countries should protect their culture!

Being a member is one thing, promoting an unacceptable culture as this is another, and should not be encouraged

Good.

God bless Ghana Parliament infact they should make it a serious offense with maximum penalty.

How can you even have the thought of having your gender touch you, not to talk of having something together.

They should treat those LGBT nonsense as criminals.

God forbid Madness.

Good...no room for institutionalized perversion!

Awesome well done Ghanaians. If Na SA dem go do approve street gay sexual activity

Homosexuality is not nature. Homosexuality cannot reproduce their kinds.

If a man with genes of homosexuality marries another man, he cannot give birth to his homosexuality offspring.

It is not nature. It's a propaganda.

Why do you think suddenly it's included in all movies? It's a propaganda that grows as more young minds get corrupted.

Why do you think they are being included in children's books and TV cartoons?

It grows via media, not nature. This is why they hate it if you ban them from media.

This is why they alway want to be in the center of every talk show.

There's nothing natural about homosexuality. It dies as soon as you suffocate the publicity.

Good. They wouldn't get blow back from Trump since he's been strangling that community in the US ...cutting off funds from sooo many programmes that catered for them. Imagine there was a youth shelter for boys who believe they are girls ...... and another for girls who believe they are boys .... both in the same building. I found it funny seeing them on Friday afternoon streaming out of the building heading to *party central". Since Trump ...shelter shut down. Guess they became straight

Nigeria passed anti homosexual bill very fast but allowed terrorism and corruption to bring us to this stage. GEJ with David Mark hastily passed it.
This was in 2011, it took Donald Trump to force Tinubu to declare bandits and summarily try arrested Boko Haram members. It's sad.

Jesus and Mohammed people should stay off my mention.

Homosexuality is not nature?

I love the confidence you used to spew that false statement!

Do you know how many animals are into homosexuality?


If you believe it’s not nature, try get an erection watching gay porn.

Nigerians and hypocrisy, all you you shouting and criticizing LGBTQ are still the same people participating in secret or even fantasizing about it, like I don’t just get it’s not my business what two adults decide to do with their bodies as long as they aren’t forcing people or children into it.

Nigeria has banned it since 2011. Our problem is religion and corruption. Allow religious extremism to fester this long. Something is totally wrong with our religious pattern.

Nice one Ghana!
They,them pronouns can now go into hiding!

If it was in d past America would have condemned this... Thank God for Donald Trump.... I pray his vice replaces him after his tenure

Aunty nobody is stopping you from doing your homo stuffs but do so in the comfort of your homes!
Why try to push it down our throat and failure to do so will land us in jail?
Just a little context to buttress my point!
A gay couple asked a website company owned by a lady to setup a website for their anniversary!
The lady refused,telling them it's against her beliefs!
Instead of going else where,they got angry and went to court pleading that their fundamental rights have been affected and that the lady must be compelled to do their website!
To show you how evil these set of people are,they took the matter all the way to the supreme court but eventually lost with 4 judges voting for the lady against 2 for the gay couple!
That's how evil these group of people are!

Very commendable.

That's the way to go!

Same Ghana has between 340,000 to 680,000 population of LGBTQ.

All those laws are just decorations. You can’t move genetical wiring! LGBTQ is as old as Earth!

Civilization just brought it to limelight.

It’s a code wired into human and animals by nature. One of them will still be born tonight!

Do you know how many animals shît and turnaround to eat the same shït?

Morals are not Trans-species. Simply because a he-goat fvcks his mother doesn't make it right for a man to do the same to his mother.

Some of you reason in the most irritating way to put it mildly.

Homosexuality is not natural.
