In a recently surfaced video interview on Joynews, Ghanaian Member of Parliament, Sam George, expressed his firm stance on the LGBTQ+ issues facing the country. George stated that laws concerning gays and lesbians are of no necessity to Ghana, emphasizing that the nation has more pressing concerns such as water shortages, rising petrol prices, and other pertinent issues.
In the video, which gained attention after being posted by @CastinBillz on X (formerly Twitter), Sam George dismissed the importance of legislation surrounding the LGBTQ+ community, asserting that it is a waste of time for Ghanaians to be preoccupied with such matters.
This declaration has sparked criticism and debates, especially considering George’s current role in frontlining a course for the Ghanaian Parliament to pass an anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
Many influencers and ordinary people argue that such legislation may infringe on human rights, drawing concern from both local and international communities. Despite the opposition, Sam George remains resolute in his pursuit of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. He contends that his primary concern is not individuals’ sexual orientation but rather the potential influence of these beliefs on children.

The controversy surrounding Sam George’s stance on LGBTQ+ issues in Ghana reflects the ongoing global conversation about human rights, societal values, and the role of legislation in shaping cultural norms. As this discourse unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Ghanaian Parliament will navigate the complex terrain of LGBTQ+ rights and the broader implications for the nation’s legal landscape.
