<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference has called on the John Dramani Mahama-led government to reintroduce the bill on Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, commonly known as the anti-LGBT bill as soon as possible, to ensure its timely passage into law.</strong></p>



<p>In a meeting with the Bishops on Tuesday, January 14, President Mahama proposed that a government-sponsored bill would be more effective than the current Private Member’s bill, as it would allow for broader consultation and national consensus.</p>



<p>The President also emphasised the importance of revising school curriculums to include moral and cultural teachings, reinforcing Ghanaian and African values in children.</p>



<p>Most Reverend Matthew Gyamfi, President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference said the government should not hesitate in passing the bill.</p>

<p>“What we want is that it is made into a law. That does not mean that it cannot be taught in the schools if it is made into a law. Many of our laws are taught in schools through civic education and other things.</p>



<p>“So the fact that it should be taught does not rule out the fact that it should be made into a law. Ghanaians are overwhelmingly in favour of it so we don’t want the use of any technical words to demean what Ghanaians want.”</p>
