African Lawmakers Reportedly Pledge Anti-LGBT* Bills Following Ghana Conference
Following the 4th African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty, and Values in Ghana, African lawmakers from more than a dozen countries have promised to push forward new anti-LGBT laws.
The conference concluded with the approval of a 32-page charter on family values, urging governments to withdraw from treaties promoting
LGBT agenda,
abortion,
non-abstinence-focused sex education.
Lawmakers from 18 of the 20 represented countries approved the charter.
Participants, according to media reports, stated that African governments need to resist pressure to ban conversion therapy, describing such bans as "ideological colonization" by Western powers.
