Parliament’s passage of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, popularly known as the Anti-LGBTQ bill, has been met with mixed reactions.
Among other things, the bill punishes those who take part in LGBTQ sexual acts, as well as those who promote the rights of gay, lesbian or other non-conventional sexual or gender identities with time in prison.
Although a section of the public has welcomed the bill, others including CHRAJ, some CSOs and other international bodies have expressed disappointment.
Today on Newsfile, the host Emefa Apawu and guests discussed the passage of the bill and what it mean for the country.
Also on the table for discussion was President Akufo-Addo’s State of the Nation address.Â
