The anti-LGBTQ+ bill has been a controversial topic in Ghana, with human rights organizations and activists condemning it as discriminatory and harmful.
It remains to be seen how Dormaahene’s decision will impact the ongoing debate surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana.
However, Forson’s outspoken criticism serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for the rights of minorities and marginalized communities.
