- Ghana's president says he's waiting for a Supreme Court ruling before he acts on a new LGBTQ+ bill. Gay sex is already illegal in the country but the latest legislation would extend the ban to same-sex public displays of affection and lobbying for LGBTQ activities. The bill has considerable support locally, and that's a worry for the Ghanaians it targets, as DW's Isaac reports Kaledzi from Accra.

Hate is not a culture!
Homosexuality is in all cultures, not only "western"
Thieves are in every nation.. but it's not normal behaviour..greed too..anorexia
Most societies will frown on non natural behaviour
No person in the history of the world was born from two gays
So all cultures should have laws on homosexuality like the western cultures! Thus the Ghanaian culture are passing their laws!
Lgbtq is Western and where Western liberalism penetrated it has nothing to do with traditional cultures that exist all over the world
Consider it a form or neo colonialism
@@kaykay865colonialism established your alleged anti-western ideology. What a joke 😂
@@kaykay865 I agree! The law is a form of neo-colonialism. Oh, wait you clearly did not know this otherwise you wouldn't have stated that LGBTQ is because of western liberalism, not that US churches funded, sponsored, and help pushed the law...
I feel bad for lgbtqia+ Ghanaians. Instead of helping Ghanaians and the economy, these politicians are targeting a vulnerable population for what? To spread fear? Stop worrying about people's private lives. Wasn't homophobia brought to Africa by religious colonizers anyways? Either way, homophobia is not culture. Homophobia is hatred and fear. I wish those who were interviewed would get to know members of the LGBTQ+ community. They would come to realize that everyone deserves rights and protections from discrimination.
Vunderable groups are always used as scapegoats
🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well done for speaking out against the horrible bill . The dozy culture should bloody well be ashamed of itself; time to grow up !
Shame Ghana shame. Instead of worrying about the economy, they spend their time worrying about people's underpants and what happens in people's bedrooms. This is concerning and Ghanaians should be worried, it's not a good sign.
This law can be used to go after political opponents. A mere allegation can get you to jail cause there isn't a way of proving the allegation without catching people in the act. Like accusation of witchcraft this law will only apply to the poor.
As Africans we need to distance ourselves from religion it has cause us more harm than anything in the world. It's funny watching people claim bigotry is their culture yet they can't make that claim without falling back on religion brought here by the same people they're arguing against.
Theocratic rule does not work.
They need to go read history books.
Was the bill passed in parliament, or it was imposed on the people?
Do you know the ratio of people in favor of the bill to those opposed?
If you think that the bill would bring economic stagnation, then it'd be worth decriminalizing armed robbery and the like. Because it's an economic issue.
I'm just trying to follow logic, man.
@@jelilabudu comparing armed robbery to someone’s sexual orientation is just silly.
@@jelilabudu "I'm just trying to follow logic"
Try harder.
@@ClannCholmain how can it make sense to you if you close your reasoning to cultural diversity except yours?
Homophobia is not a culture!
Truth & Facts.
Homophobia can be a culture.. A culture can be (subjectively) bad.
yes it is.
DW better start monitoring the comment sections under their videos. So much ignorant hate speech here.
What you said is code for censorship of others' opinions and beliefs.
Freedom of speech works both ways
As a progressive Hindu from India, I am sincerely concerned about the well-being of my fellow citizens. Recently, an extremist group known as the NSCN has issued an ultimatum to the transgender community, urging their departure from Nagaland state. In light of this egregious threat, I fervently advocate for decisive action from the New Delhi and militaries around our world. A strategic military intervention against this group is imperative to safeguard the fundamental rights and security of all citizens in and beyond my India. DW, I hope you are aware of this situation so that such acts of intolerance and intimidation are unequivocally condemned and swiftly addressed.
CONFUSION OF DA AYEST ODA!
And what makes you think that you will recieve any help when your own leader and his ruling party, Prime Minister Modi and his BJP, are all Hindu fascists?
If anything Modi probably co-opts those extremists because hes an extremist himself
Go into hiding dude, your country isnt being liberalized its being turned into a conservative dictatorship
Sounds like you want to go to war with people who have different beliefs than you.
Ghanaians can do without the corrupt money and help of the World Bank. Ghana will never back down on this. Africa is awake.

@@jmcw9632 Why don't you say what you really mean
😂😂😂 all that you said, where is LGBTQ+ found?
Homophobia is a misnomer. There are many different reasons for having a stance against the LGBT movement. Most antigay modivations have a basis in religion. Others may not be comfortable speaking openly about sex whether they are heterosexual or otherwise. When I was at university 20 years ago or so, we studied early childhood development and how it affects sexuality. Often, there are events in early childhood that can affect gender identity. Making homosexuality illegal is ignorant.
Make love, not war.

Lets be serious, this is oppression and wrong..
Nope 👎🏾 it’s humanity not death you can’t create life from two men or two women
@@asetkemet2957 it's nautral and has existed since written history. A lot of orphans can be helped by same gender couples

mebbe we need to talk about right wing American plutocrats such as Greg Slater who are funding this hate.
The LGBTQS can still move to the Western countries....
YES! GOD AND ALAH UNITE UNDER THIS RULE. MAY GOD LEAD YOU ALL GAYS
Have you ever tried it?
Yes, it should move to Western countries. And should stay there
But the most funny thing is that those countries are also fighting against it.not all of them accept such practices.😆😆
Should I remind you that mentality you posses is western based? Ironic isn't it?
@rumagency4336
They aren't tho, Russia and other countries maybe, but most aren't. There's better stuff to worry about like resources.

Thanks
Shame on you too, then. Too bad you just can't mind your own business and let people live the way they want to.
You don't like African culture?
Why do you wish to colonise Ghana ?
That's who they are
Leave them alone
The anti LGBTQ+ laws is a colonial product. There was no such thing as that before colonialism as Africans were fine with that!
This is not african culture, this is ignorance…
We lack good infrastructure throughout Ghana, but THIS is what the government has time to enforce. SMH 🤦🏾♀️ Mind you the children DIE in the National hospitals due to lack of electricity.
Good i agree with Ghana, just know that Uganda supports you.
Thank you my brother
I pray for these beautiful dark-skinned people. Africa will be lgbt friendly one day!!🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️👍🏿👍🏿
No, please, we will never be cos it wrong😂😂😂.

Spoken like a true colonizer.
Ghana and other African countries like Kenya and Uganda are regressing and passing draconian legislation. This is based at least on ignorance and fear, if not conservative values and religious dogma.
You are wrong it's not out of fear or ignorance. We hold on to our culture and good way of life. We don't want any eroupian bad habits here.
@@rumagency4336the culture accepted 2 spirit people until western corruption.
You promote western ideals, stop. Accept your history.
@@rumagency4336 You are close-minded and cling to old ways even if they deny people human rights to happiness. History will show you to be on the wrong side. Bad traditions and ideas need to disappear. Unfortunately, places like Ghana are influenced by outdated ideas about family, and ignorance and fear of sexual minorities. Hopefully, these countries will become progressive and inclusive instead of punishing innocent people for loving who they love. 🌈👍🏼🌈
Which poll did you run to arrive at that conclusion?
I don't know which country you come from, but I certainly believe that not all laws that were passed in your country favor everybody. That's why they're called laws.
Anyways, go tell the US government to abolish the law on polygamy.
Since you are open-minded.
Then, you should also know the health implications of a gay.
Let's be honest it's wrong even to our nature.
It's funny.
What is a woman?
What is a man?
The fact that you might get this question wrong doesn't mean we should all follow the wrong way. Sorry, yeah.
But be your self and don't try to influence others.
No one lives in fear, what happens in your bedroom is non of anyones business but to come out and promote it to our kids is what the bill is against .
😂
I agree.. that is very UN AFRICAN... !! firmly against it. Not our culture.
Thank you
It is. 90% of queeers in America are balack.
Are a Ghanian?
The uptight British colonizers brought homophobia with them. (Look it up.) They have left now. Why are you promoting their repressive ways?
Unafrican ? Homosexuality existed throughout human history, or your so-called "african culture" is inhumane?
Their country their rules🤷♂️
😂
Kleptomaniacs rule.
yet their rules ratified the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS which this law contradicts so perhaps they need to first reverse that to be consistent
According to your logic Germany 1941 laws were justified then.
@@sanisidrocryes,like Isreal getting support
@@joexavier4070offtopic much? just blurting out random things and making assumptions about me?
Yes but who is gay?
😂
Their whole tribe.
I mean if its ghanas law then you have to follow it. If you disobey that law then you get punished, it only makes sence.
It's a democratic process we followed. That's the essence of a democracy. The bill received bipartisan support in parliament. People should respect Ghana's right to democratically protect it's culture and values
Ohhh please stop this nonsense of hiding your inhuman laws behind cultures and values. American civilizations used to practice canabalism it was there culture and values, should they do it even now? Ofcourse No. It's better to be undemocratic than being inhuman. Humanity is the essence of democracy and you have destroyed it.
Uganda signed the UDHR ( UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS) and this law is contrary to it , so perhaps they should first pass a law to de-ratify and denounce what they already agreed to?
And the death camps during ww2 were also legal according to local laws and the Austrian painter came initially to power through elections, so according your logic that was ok also?
Where does the UDHR mention lgbt? @@sanisidrocr
@@normanwells2755It doesn't need to directly , at minimum this a gross violation of freedom of expression
That's their country stop trying to instill Western values on them
Homosexuality is not "western" and prevalent with most mammals. Uganda also signed the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS which this law violates so if they want to have these discriminating laws than they should first de-ratify and denounced what they already agreed to .
Schizo
@@sanisidrocr My argument pertains to law rather than biology, and it is firmly rooted in Western values. The evidence lies in the absence of laws accommodating homosexuals, unlike in the West. Advocating for such laws to be enforced to align with Western values seems coercive."
Human rights is a universal value.
@@luisjaysonThis has nothing to do with western values but values that uganda ratified already. lets ignore all outside opinion and just focus on the laws within uganda. If they don't agree with the principles they already passed than they should first remove them to have laws that don't contradict each other . Its not complicated.
The west should allow us to live our lives, u can't force us against our Will mmooaaa. Ghana is a sovereign nation why all these interference In our internal affairs,
😂
Oppression is your thing.
Sure let's let you suppress your people, whatever 🤷♂️ (sorry no, we care)
That’s correct protect your culture. Dona is not America and they don’t value the same dumb things America value! Culture of man and woman is the culture I respect from Ghana. Good job.

So a "democracy" shouldn't do what the people vote for? Funny how the clowns whine about certain countries doing it but not others, hypocrites are the worse!
If people want these unethical laws they should have a right to vote for them. The main problem here is this country already ratified the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS which these laws break so they need to be consistent legally and remove the previous laws and denounce them for the sake of consistency
Yes and slavery was also legal in many places, so that was fine too according to you, right?
@@sanisidrocrthen based on your analogy, every country should allow it's citizens to practice polygamy and the likes. Isn't it?
Mr "UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ON HUMAN RIGHTS".
@@jelilabuduYes, polygamy and polyamory should be a right . I am also not targeting Uganda for its internal hypocrisy , every country is inconsistent with their laws ... this doesn't make it right and I will criticize uganda and all other countries the same when they have inconsistent laws that are inconsistently enforced . Don't you agree that countries should have clear and consistent laws ? If Uganda wants to have bigoted homophobic laws than its their right to vote them in.
