While this unfortunate incident has happened, we wish to encourage all our members, and queer Ghanaians to stay calm. Do not panic.
We will triumph.
The police may have raided our office, and closed it down but the real office, is in our hearts, and minds.

Now more than ever we need to stand up to support queer people in Ghana.

It feels very lonely here especially seeing the African diaspora being silent on this.

The offices of @LGBTRightsGhana have been raided and queer people are afraid for their safety.

Please speak up!

The world must see the hate the GH Gov’t has for its marginalised citizens. This is vile. This is upsetting. This is unacceptable. Ghana is NOT the place it pretends to be. I’m extremely ashamed to be Ghanaian from this State & society sponsored violence on its queer citizens.

The Ghanaian Police has raided the LGBTQ+ community center in Ghana.

Activists are currently Unsafe.

Please don’t keep quiet!

“Populism is when you would "rebrand" and keep open "witches camps" that cast away and hold poor women hostage in violation of their human and constitutional rights, yet rush to shut down, pandering to popular prejudice, an LGBT Office that is victimizing no one&breaking no law.”

[LGBT+ Rights Ghana @LGBTRightsGhana]

At this moment, we no longer have access to our safe space and our safety is being threatened. We call on all human rights organizations, and allies to speak out against these attacks and hate crimes we are being subjected to. #LetItBeKnown.

This morning, our office was raided by National Security. A few days ago, traditional leaders threatened to burn down our office but the police did not help.

It's so exhausting to have to keep explaining to straight men that just because a man is attracted to other men doesn't mean he's attracted to ALL men 🤦🏾‍♂️

ABSORPTION.
Because black is not the 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 of color, but the 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 of all color and light— light that has never + can never be dimmed.

The purpose of this project was to display black(ness) in all its glory and in the brightest, most exuberant way.

[Sena✨ @SenaAffadu]

So you're telling me the Police allowed political elites at the Ghana Tourism Authority to protest, but the #AccraBlackOut had to be disrupted huh? Even in the fight against racism, classism is thrown right in the mix. Hate to see it.

Justice Smith just came out as a queer man with his boyfriend and I couldn't be more proud of him. I love him and I wish him and his boyfriend all the love, happiness and positivity in this world. Love wins 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Male privilege is never having to think about how your thoughts and behaviour are harmful to women, but expecting sympathy when you get called out for said harmful behaviour and then having your bros defend you by asking women to do the labour of educating you.
