A law that imprisons people for their sexual orientation or who they choose to love does not protect society. It simply selects a group of human beings and makes their existence a crime. That is a line no Parliament in the civilised world should cross.

Context

The circulating statement names the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill — passed by Ghana's Parliament on May 29, 2026 and now subject to a procedural reconsideration directive from Speaker Alban Bagbin — as a measure no Parliament in the civilised world should pass. The post arrives in the same window as the dispute between the Speaker and Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga over whether the May 29 passage stands. Per NSEM editorial standard B18, the original attribution on this post is currently disputed (see correction note above); the statement is published as a circulating claim while verification continues.
