Anti-LGBTQ Bill Resurfaces in Parliament

Samuel Nartey George, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, has reaffirmed his unwavering stance on LGBTQ+ issues, announcing that the controversial anti-LGBTQ bill has been reintroduced in Parliament.

This follows a series of legal and civil society hurdles that delayed the passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, which initially sought to criminalize LGBTQ+ activities and advocacy in Ghana.

Upholding Ghanaian Family Values

Speaking to reporters, Sam George emphasized that the bill is not merely a political instrument but a moral duty to safeguard Ghana’s traditional family systems and cultural beliefs.

“We remain committed to defending our national identity. We’re not here to legislate hate but to promote what Ghana stands for—our values, our faith, and our families,” he stated.

A Battle Between Rights and Culture

The reintroduction of the bill comes amid ongoing debates between human rights groups and conservative lawmakers. While critics argue that the bill infringes on human rights and individual freedoms, proponents like Sam George believe it’s necessary to protect the nation from cultural erosion.

“We respect the views of others, but this is about the soul of our nation,” George added.

International Scrutiny Continues

Ghana’s anti-LGBTQ legislation has previously drawn international criticism, especially from human rights organizations and foreign diplomatic circles. The reintroduction of the bill may once again place the country under global scrutiny, particularly regarding its obligations under international treaties.

However, Sam George insists that Ghana will not bow to external pressure, stating, “We make laws for Ghanaians, not foreign powers.”

Conclusion: Parliament Poised for Heated Debate

With the bill now back on the floor, Parliament is expected to reignite heated discussions over LGBTQ rights versus national values. Sam George and his supporters remain firm, vowing to see the bill through in defense of Ghanaian family values.
