Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghana Family Values Bill, 2021

As Parliament resumes today to deliberate on the various bills, one of the most notable and anticipated bills is the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghana Family Values Bill, 2021 popularly known as the Anti-LGBTQ Bill.

The bill, if passed, would see people of the same sex who engage in sexual activity fined or jailed between three to five years.

The law would also make it a crime to be LGBTQ member and would be punishable by five years in prison for any person to identify as lesbian, gay, transgender, transsexual, queer, pansexual or non-binary (someone who doesn’t identify as male or female).

It is widely expected that the bill will win enough votes to become a law in Ghana, Advocating for LGBTQ rights would also be illegal under the bill, with activists facing jail sentences of between five and ten years. The bill would also allow for conversion therapy, also sometimes called ‘gay cure therapy’, which tries to change people’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Despite the bill’s general support, some Ghanaians are calling for review of the document before it gets to a parliamentary vote which will be determined with the incoming Parliament Sittings.
