Their cries for help have become louder as they seek safety in the arms of the LGBTQ+ communities in the United States and the United Kingdom, amidst a noticeable upsurge of anti-LGBTQ sentiment in Ghana. Since the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill was just passed in the Ghanaian Parliament, these people have been living in constant fear and are trying to make sense of their future.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community disclosed the disturbing truth of their everyday existence in an exclusive interview with Ghanapoliticsonline.com, drawing attention to the ubiquitous dangers of assault and incarceration. They are actively seeking ways to relocate because the restrictive environment has made it impossible for them to sleep well. The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, an anti-LGBT measure in Ghana, was passed by the Parliament of Ghana on February 28, 2024.
This bill would severely limit the rights of the LGBT+ community and make their already difficult lives even more difficult if President Nana Akufo-Addo were to sign it into law. In his first remarks following the bill's approval, President Nana Akufo-Addo reassured the public that the legislation had not yet reached him and reaffirmed Ghana's determination to uphold its human rights record. The urgency with which the LGBTQ+ community has reached out to the US and UK embassies, seeking refuge in countries renowned for their support of human rights and acceptance, highlights the seriousness of their plight.
Online reactions
Powder jay: If relocation plans fail, they should wage war, conquer, and win land for their own settlement in the Sahara desert.David: The earlier, the better for them. They relocate to Akuffo Addo, Bawumia, and Atsem Mafia houses or bedrooms. Ghanaians will start burning them alive soon.
Ali: Good, let's see if those countries really care about social dregs like them. They will surely close their doors to them. However, hustlers have found a new excuse to try to move to those countries.
Gyamfi: You see how hypocritical these countries are in promoting this disgusting thing? This is the time they should show their unreserved attention and concern for these hopeless beasts.
