In a shocking declaration that has sent shockwaves through Ghana’s political and social circles, MP Samuel Nartey George has told the BBC that he remains fiercely committed to reintroducing the controversial Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, widely known as the anti-gay bill.
A Firebrand Stance
George, who has long championed the legislation, made it clear that his position is unchanged, insisting the bill reflects Ghanaian cultural and family values. “I will lead another high-spirited advocacy to get this bill passed,” he declared, sparking fierce debate online and offline.
Rejecting Critics
The lawmaker dismissed claims that he had softened his stance or abandoned the bill as “politically tainted comments.” According to George, any suggestion that he would waver is categorically false, signaling that the bill’s return to Parliament will be nothing short of a battle.
Political Earthquake
The anti-gay bill, which was previously passed in Parliament but never signed into law, is expected to impose strict penalties on LGBTQ+ advocacy and behavior. George’s vow to push it forward has reignited the national conversation, drawing reactions from rights activists, religious leaders, and political analysts.
Social Media Eruption
The announcement has exploded across social media platforms, with hashtags like #AntiGayBill, #SamGeorge, and #GhanaFamilyValues trending. Supporters applaud his resolve, while opponents warn of escalating tensions and international scrutiny.
The Road Ahead
As Sam George prepares to lead the reintroduction of the bill, Ghana braces for renewed debates that could dominate headlines for months. One thing is certain: the firebrand MP is all in, and the anti-gay bill saga is far from over.
