Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has renewed his support for the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, which is now before Parliament.
The Bill, supported by eight Members of Parliament from both the Majority and Minority parties, seeks to criminalize LGBTQ+ people and their behaviors in the country.
The Bill is now being debated in Parliament and might become law before the end of 2023.
Speaker Alban Bagbin told media in Tamale over the weekend that he still supports the Bill’s passing.
According to him, he would prefer to die than see the legalisation of LGBTQ+ in the country.
“I will prefer to join my Maker than to live. That is me. I am a Catholic and pro-life. I will not do anything that will end the world because God says the world is eternal. Until He comes back we cannot do that to end the world,” Speaker of Parliament Rt. Alban Bagbin shared.
He argued that already LGBTQ+ is having a negative effect in Europe.
He indicated that Ghana must take a stand that will avoid similar repercussions for the country.
“They have the repercussions in their country and I can tell you that in the next 50 years, there will be no indigenous European in the world,” Alban Bagbin bemoaned.
