After amending it to suit their European pay masters. Because of loan and grants this useless NDC government has amended it and given in to foreign pressures. There is nothing sensible in the new bill. NDC is indeed a scam.

Another person blindfolded and remote controlled by emotion instead of brain. How can u say the bill is watered down bcos it makes provision for accused lgbt suspects to have legal representation in court? How is a bill watered down bcos a health professional is providing services for a sick lgbt person? The fact that the person is lgbt doesn't mean he or she looses his other rights under the constitution.

JDM JDM JDM JDM JDM, Mahama is delivering on all fronts - roads are being built more than ever before since after Dr Nkrumah, galamsey fight is being won (gradually), the economy is in a better position, considering that that are more global wars now than ever before, Ghanain citizens in the diaspora who face persecution are being taken care of, Ghana now has respect in the eyes of foreign powers wherever you turn, and now the anti LGBT Bill is just about to become a law, Mahama woy3 boiy!

I would not have wanted Parliament to be involved with this. It should have been just decided that those who want to be recognized for the LGBTQI Nonsense should go for their Marriage Certificate from and Tegistration at an office that will be opened at SAKADAKA or ASAWASI Transport Station which shall be given no Military or Police Ptotection and renew it every year at the same station every yea. Hahahaha I know the SAKASAKA and ASAWASI area where the people are extreme Moslems and know what they can do to such Applicants even if the Security people are posted to such premises. Th Government should not be involved in this at all. Let the Moslems there hands the situations. Hahahaha. I can’t wait to see how many such LGQTI people can survive any such sexual activity.
Uncle Sam is very Democratic but no forms of Polygamy is allowed openly. As a Human Institution, some people like the Mormons allow that but it is illegal and not recognized. Ask the Mormons and find out how many of them have been sent to Prison for that. I personally don’t care about the Sexual Orientation of any other person but I never want them to be legal, preached and practiced in my backyard and for my family to be brainwashed to allow and accept it. SAKSAKA and ASAWASI Moslems are waiting for the LGBTQI people to register their marriages for them. Mahama should please just stay away from this and just continue making his many illegitimate babies and sevual orientations like Solomon did.

How can giving permission to healthcare professionals to respond to the health needs of lgbt ppl be seen as watering down the bill? How can giving permission to media houses to report on lgbt issues be seen as watering down the bill? (yet the same ppl are saying govt is stifling free speech? How can giving permission to academia and research institutions to publish findings on lgbt research be seen as watering down the bill?

A nation like Ghana’s greatest battles are not always found in private choices, but in the suffering of its people. While Parliament debates morality, many citizens still battle unemployment, poor healthcare, corruption, bad roads, rising cost of living, and struggling education systems. A hungry man seeks bread before laws of division. Ghana must also focus deeply on the burdens that touch everyday lives.
