LGBT+ activists will be protesting Ghana’s “Family Values” bill on Saturday at 2 pm in front of the London offices of the Ghana High Commission.

The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, introduced as a private members’ bill in Ghana’s parliament by seven opposition National Democratic Congress MPs and the deputy education minister on 2 August, is one of the most wide-reaching bills aimed at controlling human sexuality and gender identity that the world has seen, Daily Maverick reports.

The draconian bill would make it a Crime, with sentences between 3 to 10 years for anyone convicted of being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender, or Ally. The “Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill” would also punish those who advocate on social media for LGBTQI rights or fails to report to the state those who they suspect of being LGBTQI.

It also promotes so-called conversion therapy by allowing flexible sentencing for an LGBT+ person if they request “treatment”, and could enable the government to force intersex children to undergo “gender realignment” surgery, Foreign policy reports.

The 8 ministers who introduced the bill did so at the behest of a group identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the US anti-LGBT hate group “WORLD CONGRESS OF FAMILIES.”
