The Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament will today, Thursday, begin public hearings to consider memoranda on the Anti-Gay Bill.
The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill if passed will provide clarity on the country’s sexual orientation laws.
The groups scheduled to appear before the committee on the first day of hearing include the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, the Human Rights Coalition, Amnesty International and Advocates for Christ.
But, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called for tolerance in the public debate on the anti-LGBTQI+ bill currently before Parliament.
Alban Bagbin said Parliament will do all it can to create an enabling environment for everyone to share their view on the controversial bill.
