Ghana’s parliament is currently debating the “Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021,” which would promote conversion therapy and ban advocating for LGBTQ rights, as well as gender affirming health care for trans people. Homosexuality is already illegal in the majority-Christian country, and the new bill would increase the maximum prison sentence for homosexuality from three to five years. It would also ban “grossly indecent acts” that involve “amorous relations” between two people of the same sex, which experts say could include holding hands, as well as “intentional cross dressing,” which could include theater and film. This bill has the support of the President of the House of Chiefs for the Bono Region (the House of Chiefs is like a state senate, the president of the House of Chiefs is similar to a Governor). He has said, “I heard some people are against the Anti LGBQT+ Bill." He said that if it does not pass, “It would not be good for all of us because I’ll storm Parliament with 10,000 people.”
