Alban Bagbin, the speaker of parliament has boldly stated once again that LGBTQ+ activities are not natural as God did not create them.
According to Alban Bagbin, Ghanaian cultural and moral fabric does not support LGBTQ+ orientations.
He boldly declared that LGBTQ+ activities will not be accepted or legalised in Ghana.
Speaking during a visit to Uganda, Speaker Bagbin stated, “You can be sure that the world they want to create and impose on us will not exist while we are alive.
LGBT is not African, it is not natural, and God did not create it. This is an imposition that we must all resist,” he declared.
In a related story, Alban Bagbin had earlier revealed that the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill commonly referred to as the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill is ready for its first reading in Parliament.
According to Speaker Bagbin, the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill is set to be introduced for its first reading during the second meeting of the Ninth Parliament.
Speaker Bagbin made this known during his opening remarks to mark the official commencement of Parliament’s second meeting.
He stated, “Three private members bills; The Property Rights of Spouses Bill 2025, Constitution of the Republic of Ghana Amendment Bill 2025, and the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2025 have completed the processes as required by the standing orders and are expected to be presented for a first reading during the course of this meeting”.
It will be recalled, that Samuel Nartey George, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation had revealed that he has already resubmitted the Private Member’s Bill on anti-LGBTQI to Parliament about four weeks ago.
He asserted that he is awaiting the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament to invite him.
According to Sam George, his position has not changed on the anti-LGBTQI bill.
John Dramani Mahama has revealed that the Anti-LGBTQI bill would be introduced as a state-sponsored bill in parliament.
He announced that in consultation with the Speaker of Parliament, the anti-LGBT bill be reintroduced in Parliament as a Government-sponsored bill rather than a bill sponsored by private members.
