President Akufo-Addo has expressed the hope that the Human Sexuality and Identity Bill before Parliament will take into consideration the culture and the societal attitude of the people, as well as the humanity of the people involved.
“The consequences, hopefully, will be those that will recognise the culture and the societal attitude of the people and at the same time recognise the humanity of all people involved. Hopefully, the law that will be fashioned will enable this balance to be carefully struck,” he added.
President Akufo-Addo said this when the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Justin Portal Welby, and the leadership of the global Anglican Communion paid a courtesy call on him at the Jubilee House in Accra on Tuesday.
The Most Rev. Welby, who is the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church and attending the 18th Consultative Council Meeting of 165 countries, said one of the issues that the meeting had been discussing was human sexuality and identity.
He said it was a difficult issue because there were no clear views on it around the world, and that it was an area in which many countries tried to enforce their views on others, adding: “But when we talk of human sexuality, we are dealing with people.”
