Communications Minister, Sam George
Ghanaian social media influencer and transgender activist Angel Maxine has publicly challenged comments made by Communications Minister Sam George regarding homosexuality.
The comments followed the circulation of a video in which Sam George reportedly argued that homosexuality was once classified as a mental disorder and should continue to be regarded as such.
Reacting to the video on social media, Angel Maxine dismissed the assertion, describing it as misinformation and defending the rights of 'consenting adults'.
"The real mental illness is waking up every day obsessed with what consenting adults do in private. TRUMU lives rent-free in your head," she wrote.
Angel Maxine further stressed that homosexuality is not recognised as a mental illness, disorder or disease by leading medical and psychological institutions.
"Homosexuality is not a mental disorder, illness or disease. It has been rejected as such by major medical and psychological bodies for decades," she added.

The bill currently awaits further oversight and presidential assent before becoming law.
