Apostle Eric Nyamekye, President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has called on Parliament to work through consensus for the prompt and unanimous passage of the anti-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Plus (LGBTQ+) bill.
“As a council, we stand with the entire membership of the Coalition for the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values, the private promoter of the bill in Parliament, and all others who, in diverse ways, are lending their support for the passage of this all-important bill,” Apostle Nyamekye affirmed in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
The GPCC President emphasized the council's commitment to upholding Ghana's sexual and family values, stating, “To the best of the knowledge of the council, the bill articulates and reflects the sexual and family values of the entirety of the Ghanaian society.”
Highlighting the council's stance, he expressed, “The GPCC is committed to the protection of the rights of every Ghanaian and would ensure that they are protected from intimidation, discrimination, and violence.”
