The Parliamentarian for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, says it is bizarre for the lawyers advocating the withdrawal of the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill to demand rights without boundaries.

Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday, he explained that rights under the constitution are defined in a certain context; therefore, there is no way a court can enforce a right that is not defined.

“This is to the lawyer [Prof Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua], can you establish for me any other instance in the history of legal jurisprudence where you demand a right that has no boundaries.

"When you ask for a particular right, it is defined within a certain context; the right to association, the right to live, the right to freedom of expression.

"Tell me how you want the Court to enforce an indeterminate right. LGBTQI rights are indeterminate,” he said.

The vociferous MP said the rights sympathisers of people in the LGBTQ+ community are fighting for cannot be granted because the plus (+) attached to the gay movement is indeterminate and not clearly explained, adding that no one knows what the plus means.

“They add plus, so what does the plus stand for? So you want the Court to give a right where tomorrow if somebody wakes up and tells us that having sex with your own child and sibling, which is incest constitutes the plus, and you say we’ve given them right. We’ve given LGBTQ+, what is the plus? How can you possibly be demanding legal enforcement of rights that are without boundaries and open?” he quizzed.

Also, commenting on an issue raised by Prof Gadzekpo on intersex, who said, "People are born intersex whether they like it or not; that is how God created them. The bill, as you know, also references intersex people, but people are intersex, and we know that the practice of intersex has had a lot of medical arguments against that. It is determined at birth, and you decide that, okay, you are going to be a woman, you have two organs, and I later decide that actually, I feel more like a man what should I do? So you are saying that they cannot own up to how God actually put them on this earth for?"

The legislator pleaded that the bill should be read well to avoid misinforming the public. He also said public education and sensitization on the anti-LGBTQ+ bill should be done to avoid misinterpretation of the bill.

“If our learned professors are driven by their emotion and fail to read this clearly and misinform the general public and make categoric statements that this bill is fighting intersex people when it's clear here in black and white an exception clause that says except in the case of correcting an abnormal anomaly including intersex.”

Supporting it with an extract from the bill, he argued that "Section 6 talks about what the offences are, E lists the various shades of homosexuality. It says; a lesbian, a gay, a transgender, transsexual, a queer, non-binary. If you read here, you would realize that intersex, which is part of the spectrum, has not been mentioned here."
