Ghana's parliament approved a law criminalizing LGBTQ+ activities. The law is awaiting ratification by President John Dramani Mahama, according to the Guardian. Discrepancies exist in reported prison sentence ranges: France24 reported that the law prescribes three to five years in prison for promoting LGBTQ+ activities, while the Guardian reported that the law prescribes three to 10 years for LGBTQ+-related offenses. Bluesky reported that the law prescribes up to three years in prison for identifying as gay, bisexual, transgender, lesbian, or queer, while the Guardian again cited a range of three to 10 years for such offenses. Community groups say some fear they could lose homes, jobs and access to healthcare if the new law is ratified by President John Dramani Mahama.
