During a GBC interview on Thursday, renowned Ghanaian lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning and Emerita Professor at the University of Ghana, Prof. Takyiwaa Manuh, clashed over the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021, also known as the anti-LGBTQI bill, which is currently under consideration by the Parliament of Ghana.
Prof. Takyiwaa Manuh stated that people who engage in LGBTQI activities should be accepted because they already exist in Ghanaian communities. She went on to describe the anti-LGBTQI bill as being driven by hate and called for its rejection by the Parliament of Ghana. She also referred to Foh-Amoaning as her junior at the bar and suggested that the people championing the bill have ulterior motives.
In response, Foh-Amoaning berated Prof. Takyiwaa Manuh for demeaning him and for suggesting that Ghanaians should accept LGBTQI+ activities. He challenged her knowledge of the practices of homosexuals and questioned whether the anus is an appropriate orifice for sexual intercourse. He also refuted the assertion that people championing the anti-gay bill are driven by hatred.
The debate between the two individuals took place amidst the Parliament of Ghana’s consideration of the anti-LGBTQI bill. The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament presented the final draft of the bill, which was sponsored by a group of bipartisan Members of Parliament, to the plenary for debate and passage on Friday, March 31, 2023.
