CWN Editor's Note: The Catholic bishops of Ghana have urged the country’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sign legislation that would make it a crime to promote homosexuality.
“We urge the President to give his assent to this Bill, which we believe aligns with the moral convictions of almost all Ghanaians,” the bishops said in their endorsement of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, which won approval after a lively debate in Ghana’s parliament.
The US State Department had earlier sent a message to Ghana saying that American leaders were “deeply troubled” by the legislation.
