According to Joynews, Ghanaian LGBT groups in the United States of America have signalled a gargantuan demonstration in Accra and Kumasi to kill the Anti LGBT bill. This follows a successful demonstration and rally in the American cities of Harlem, New York, Oakland and California.
According to one of the conveners Mr Johnny Abbeam the legalisation of Anti LGBT bill will deepen hatred, stigmatisation, depression and HIV AIDS in Ghana. His reason been that those who are affected with HIV AIDS will not feel free to go out for medication for fear of stigmatisation.
Joynews Online portal reported that hundreds of Ghanaians joined the USA version of the protest as they prepare to replicate same in Ghana.
” Will you have the courage to demonstrate in Ghana considering the current Anti LGBT tension?” Mark Cooks asked the conveners
” When we get to the bridge we shall cross it. No matter how slippery it will be, we shall prevail and exist in the confines of fundamental human rights” Johnny responded.
