"When you decide to bring your private matters into the public space, then public policy will apply to you." -Hon Sam George, Member of Parliament representing Ningo-Prampram, Accra, Ghana "We are dealing with getting enough maternity beds, so we cannot divert those resources to treat anal diseases." -Hon Sam George, Member of Parliament representing Ningo-Prampram, Accra, Ghana "Ghana is not the 51st State of the United States." -Hon Sam George, Member of Parliament representing, Ningo-Prampram, Accra, Ghana "Africa must begin to assert our rights; we are not puppets and stooges of the US and the West." -Hon Sam George, Member of Parliament representing Ningo-Prampram, Accra, Ghana Ghana’s parliament voted to pass a controversial bill that restricts LGBTQ rights, a move that has been condemned by rights activists.The bill would punish 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. The bill, one of the harshest of its kind in Africa, still has to be validated by the president before entering into law, which observers believe is unlikely before a general election in December. Activist groups have called the “Human Sexual Rights and Family Values” bill a setback for human rights and urged President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government to reject it.
