His remarks underscored the significant role of cultural and religious beliefs in shaping public opinion on sensitive matters such as LGBTQ+ rights.

Dr. Bawumia's declaration signals a resolute stance against LGBTQ+ activities, resonating with the sentiments of many Ghanaians who adhere to traditional values and religious teachings.

His public proclamation adds momentum to the ongoing debate surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in the nation, highlighting the complex interplay between cultural, religious, and legal considerations.
