Ghanaian Parliament Speaker Alban Bagbin earlier this month promised MPs would pass a bill that would further crackdown on the country’s LGBTQ community before Christmas.

Bagbin said there is no MP who is opposing the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, and this lack of opposition is why he said it will pass before Parliament adjourns for the year on Friday.

President Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to sign the measure within a few weeks of passage. The bill would prohibit same-sex sexual activities, same-sex marriages, the use of sex toys, identifying as LGBTQ, advocating for LGBTQ rights on social media platforms and other fora and gender affirming surgeries, among other things.

LGBTQ Ghanaians and advocacy organizations have sounded the alarm over the bill since its introduction in Parliament in 2021.
