Renowned legal practitioner and anti-LGBTQ+ advocate, Moses Foh-Amoaning, has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to publicly declare their stance on LGBTQ+ issues.
Foh-Amoaning made the call during a recent interview, emphasizing the need for the GFA and CAF to take a firm stance on LGBTQ+ rights within the context of sports in Ghana and Africa. He stressed that it is important for sports organizations to clearly communicate their position on such issues, especially considering the current global discussions surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion.
He further emphasized the importance of maintaining traditional values and cultural norms within the sports sector, and urged the GFA and CAF to prioritize the protection of these values in their policies and decision-making processes.
While acknowledging the need for inclusivity and non-discrimination in sports, Foh-Amoaning emphasized the need for these principles to be balanced with respect for cultural and religious beliefs, particularly in the African context.
Given the increasing global attention on LGBTQ+ rights and the ongoing conversations surrounding the subject in various sectors, including sports, Foh-Amoaning’s call for the GFA and CAF to declare their stance on the issue is timely and relevant.
It remains to be seen how the GFA and CAF will respond to Foh-Amoaning’s call, and whether they will publicly express their position on LGBTQ+ issues within the context of sports in Ghana and Africa.
As the discussions around LGBTQ+ rights continue to evolve, it is crucial for sports organizations to proactively address these issues and align their policies with the cultural and societal values of the communities they represent.
