A Catholic cardinal in Ghana has reiterated his support for LGBTQ people. Peter Turkson has been vocal against the criminalization of LGBTQ people, advocates, and organizations.
He is also among the few African cardinals who have supported the Fiducia Supplicans (Supplicating Trust) document that Pope Francis released last year.
The document offers a narrow set of conditions under which a priest or deacon can offer a blessing to a same-sex couple or unmarried heterosexual couples.
In an interview with TV3 News, a Ghanaian television station, Turkson expressed his grave concerns over the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill currently before the Supreme Court.
