Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has said he would not speak for lawyers who are practicing homosexuality.<\/b><\/p>\n

He says that the lawyers practicing homosexuality should gather the courage and come out publicly to speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

Kpebu indicated that there are several gay lawyers in Ghana who should be standing up for their fellow gay practitioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are practicing the thing [homosexuality] and you want me to speak for you. There are several lawyers who are gay and they should come out and speak for themselves, \u201cKepbu said on Saturday February 24.<\/p>\n

The controversial anti-LGBTQ bill, named, Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, is only one step away from passage after Parliament concluded the consideration stage.<\/p>\n

Parliament has postponed the ratification of the bill titled \u201cPromotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values,\u201d commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, to Tuesday, February 27, 2024.<\/p>\n

This decision aligns with the house\u2019s updated standing orders, which mandate a gap of at least one sitting day before the third reading of a bill.<\/p>\n

This development comes on the heels of the second review of the bill, which aims to outlaw LGBT activities and penalize their promotion, advocacy, and funding.<\/p>\n
