A user on the X platform has accused several Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) of banding together to oppose the controversial Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values (anti-LGBTQ+) bill recently passed by parliament.

The user contends that these organizations are prioritizing financial gain over their principles by opposing the bill due to their reliance on donor funds from Western countries.

Suddenly almost every CSO have aligned to oppose the anti-LGBTQ bill all because they rely solely on donor funds from the west to chopped. Shame on them.

Parliament passed the anti-LGBTQ bill on Wednesday, February 28, 2024. Once enacted into law, it will criminalize lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activities, along with their promotion, advocacy, and funding in Ghana.

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has clarified that the anti-LGBTQI bill has not yet reached his office.

Despite concerns within diplomatic circles, he assured that the bipartisan approval of the bill by Parliament will not compromise Ghana’s human rights record.

In addressing anxieties regarding any potential shift in Ghana’s stance on human rights and the rule of law, President Akufo-Addo emphasized his commitment to upholding these principles.

While refraining from discussing the bill's origin, pending on his desk, he acknowledged a constitutional challenge filed at the Supreme Court regarding the proposed legislation.

The President urged patience, suggesting that everyone await the court’s decision before taking any action.
