LEGALIZATION OF ‘LGBT’ IN THE NATIONS: GHANA IS AT THE CROSSROADS OF CHOICE

Abstract

LGBT is the acronym of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender—the umbrella of diverse sexual promiscuities. The rapid spread and forceful legalization of LGBT communities across the globe calls for immediate attention of Ghana with the compass of biblical truth to combat this wave of promiscuous sexual practices. This research has discovered that a little over twenty (20) nations have legalized LGBT practices. Practitioners continuously mount piercing pressure on governments across the globe to legalize these sexual promiscuities. Another finding is that some countries and international organizations are persistently pressurizing other countries especially those in Africa to give legal backing to LGBT groups in their respective countries. Again, this article has discovered the undeniable fact that LGBT is practiced in Ghana, and further unveils the situation in which Ghana finds herself within the global context of the LGBT legalization debate. At the crossroads of choice about LGBT dispute in Ghana, this research concludes with pragmatic recommendations as well as cautions to the government and the people of Ghana to repudiate myriads of constraints from USA, UK and some international organizations as well as domestic tensions being mounted on the nation to succumb and legalize LGBT activities.
