Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of the Ghanaian Parliament, has made it unequivocally clear that he will never lend his support to the legalization of LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana. In a conversation with journalists in Tamale, Ghana, Bagbin asserted his determination to fight against the rights of homosexuals, stating that such rights would not be legalized during his tenure.
Bagbin attributed the decline of indigenous populations in several European countries to the presence of the LGBTQ+ community. He firmly believes that queer activities must be halted immediately in order to address this decline.
“I would rather distance myself from Ghana than partake in such activities,” declared the Speaker of Parliament. “As a Catholic and a pro-life advocate, I cannot engage in actions that would bring about the end of the world. According to God’s teachings, the world is eternal until His return.”
Bagbin further emphasized that the consequences of LGBTQ+ rights would primarily affect their own countries. He predicted that within the next 50 years, there would be no indigenous Europeans left in the world.
Additionally, Bagbin revealed that an anti-gay bill would be passed during his tenure as Speaker. He explained that the bill is designed to uphold Ghana’s family values, recognizing what is considered normal while protecting individuals who may be caught in such circumstances. The legislation aims to align with the provisions of the 1992 Constitution without causing offense.
Bagbin’s strong opposition to the legalization of LGBTQ+ rights reflects his staunch stance on the matter and sets the tone for the future direction of Ghana’s legislative landscape.
