Proponents of the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill have made a case for the passage of the bill which amongst other things seeks to criminalise LGBTQI+ activities in the country.

Led by the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ningo Prampram constituency, Sam Nartey George, the proponents say Ghana is not a secular state as has been argued by those against the bill.

“Ghana is not a secular state,people  have made that statement and said Ghana is secular state and we must allow it, Ghana is a pluralistically religious state”, he said before the committee.

For this reason, they insist activities of LGBTQI+ must be outlawed.
