EXPLAER: WHAT MAK GHANA’S ANTI-GAY BILL SO EXTREME?
We simply never ma a thg about ; we never told anyone we enuntered that we’re gay, and never drew attentn to ourselv.
In fact, we got to so many long nversatns wh Ghanaians, almost on a daily basis, and never once did we tect or hear anythg slightly homophobic.
Ghana’s policy toward homosexualy was nearly enough to keep away the first place. So, if you’re gay and batg whether to vis Ghana… we wouldn’t necsarily ph you one way or the other. It’s a shame not to see such a wonrful untry, but ’s unrstandable that you might not want to hi who you are, or support a homophobic ernment wh your dollars.
