Under the bill on "Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values," also unofficially known as the anti-LGBTQ bill, those engaged in sex with people of the same sex face five years imprisonment instead of the three years under previous legislation. Meanwhile, the "propaganda" of LGBTQ rights and the financing of relevant activities could be punished with three to five years in jail.

Ghana's Parliament Approves Bill Criminalizing LGBTQ
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The parliament of Ghana has passed a controversial bill imposing criminal liability on people identifying them as LGBTQ* and those involved in the promotion of LGBTQ rights.
Under the bill on "Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values," also unofficially known as the anti-LGBTQ bill, those engaged in sex with people of the same sex face five years imprisonment instead of the three years under previous legislation.
Meanwhile, the "propaganda" of
LGBTQ rights and the financing of relevant activities could be punished with three to five years in jail.
To enter into force, the bill must be signed into law by Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo.
In May 2023, Uganda also
approved an anti-LGBTQ law, which imposes the death penalty in some cases, while "the propaganda of homosexuality" is punishable by 20 years in prison. Russia is also one of the countries in the world where the international LGBT public movement is declared an extremist organization, with its activities totally banned.
