Inside the African conference pushing for a continent-wide anti-LGBT charter
Legislators met in Ghana to advance a ‘family values’ charter that targets reproductive and LGBTQ rights

Passing the anti-LGBTQ+ bill days after receiving global acclaim for human rights advocacy would expose Ghana’s rank hypocrisy, potentially undermining the very reparations dialogue the government claims to prioritize. https://t.co/phoFf1U4cN
The Speaker suspended Parliament while buildings collapse and fires break out in flood-hit Accra. In a serious country this is dereliction of duty. In Ghana we are told to speak politely about it. We cannot respect leaders who don’t respect us. #CheckYourAura
Gen Z this is your Speaker. Silent during floods. Active during persecution. Suspended during disaster. Present for anti-rights conference. This is the leadership you inherited. Demand better or inherit worse. #CheckYourAura
Speaker Bagbin wove his name into his kente cloth. For the anti-rights movement photo opportunity. While flood victims lost everything. While his Parliament sat silent. This king has no shame. #CheckYourAura

A reminder: LGBTQ+ people are not "out there."
We are your colleagues, neighbors, lawyers, doctors, teachers, friends, family members, and even policymakers.
We've always been here.

Once again, the obsession with policing people's identities appears to be taking center stage over issues affecting everyday Ghanaians.

In Ghana, politicians are no longer debating how to protect people. They are debating who can punish LGBTQ+ people more harshly.
The world needs to pay attention.

While Ghana faces pressing challenges in healthcare, education, unemployment, and corruption, Speaker Bagbin is busy hosting parliamentary leaders at a conference on "family values."
Many Ghanaians are questioning these priorities.
