Ghana's Parliament Passes Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill

This screenshot is from this BBC article. | Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the Ghanian MP who sponsored the bill, speaks to media after it passed parliament
BBC: The parliament in Ghana has approved a new bill criminalising homosexuality and the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities.

It proposes that identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer be punished by up to three years' imprisonment. The bill also introduces a "duty to report" prohibited acts to police.

Religious leaders have pressured President John Dramani Mahama, who still needs to ratify the legislation, to strengthen anti-gay laws since he came to power last year.

The ban has been sharply criticised by international organisations, including Human Rights Watch, which said it placed LGBTQ+ peoples' lives at risk while also "encouraging citizens to surveil and denounce one another".

Same-sex relationships have been banned in Ghana under laws dating from the British colonial era.

In an address to parliament, the bill's sponsor Reverend John Ntim Fordjour said it would protect Ghanaian family and cultural values.

He said the new bans would make existing laws "more robust, more encompassing and more stringent in dealing with the practices of LGBTQI".

Anyone who identifies as an "ally", a general term for a supporter of LGBTQ+ people, could also face a prison sentence. » | Harry Sekulich and Thomas Naadi | Saturday, May 30, 2026

This reverend’s robe is pretty and colourful; his thoughts, alas, are ugly and dark! Clearly, he has been filling his head with fiction, myth, and fairy stories! His reading has clearly clouded his judgment.

When will these unenlightened, backward-thinking people ever learn that ALL of God’s children should be given their God-given right to pursue their own happiness, given the hand that God dealt them?

It is truly ignorant and benighted to imagine that the granting to gays of their rights to a life of happiness, peace, and harmony endangers family life in any way. Gays don’t want to dissolve family life; on the contrary, they merely wish to have the right to form their own families. A gay wants love and tenderness just as much as a straight person does. So why do these backward-thinking people wish to deny gays those same rights? The rights that straight people expect for themselves, and take for granted.

Being queer is not catching! Granting homosexuals rights does not detract from a heterosexual’s rights in any way whatsoever. Moreover, a straight person is not going to turn queer just because there are a few queers living amongst them in the community! People are born queer; it is not a lifestyle choice! Fact is, it was God’s choice for them to be that way in the first place. It was God’s choice if one is religious; and if one is not religious at all, then it was mother nature that made queers, queer. Either way, one cannot argue with God or Nature.

This is 2026. It is high time that you people grew up and learnt something about science. Stop believing in the fairy tales of yore, from books of dubious provenance, and start believing in scientific facts instead! If you do that, it will ensure the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, queer or straight! And maximizing happiness should be our aim. — © Mark Alexander

The Recovering Catholic: What's Really behind the Christian Obsession with Homosexuality

Jun 7, 2026 | Why are so many Christians concerned with gay people while often ignoring other issues the Bible discusses far more frequently? In this video, we explore the history, theology, culture, fear, and social factors that have made homosexuality one of the most debated topics in modern Christianity. You'll discover why this issue became such a focal point, what the Bible actually says, and whether the focus reflects the teachings of faith or something deeper within religious culture. If you've ever wondered why LGBTQ issues generate so much attention in Christian circles, this conversation offers historical context, spiritual insight, and a fresh perspective.

These simple people who call themselves “Christian” have a very poor understanding of the Bible and of what Christianity teaches them. For starters, a Christian is supposed to believe that God is the Creator — the Creator who created everything, including homosexuals.

If we are to believe the Christian message, then we humans are an integral part of God’s creation — we are, in fact, God’s children. Ergo, if a homosexual is one of God’s creation then God clearly intended for that person to be that way. Or are we also to believe that God makes mistakes, believe that God errs?

But this cannot be! Why? Because we are also implored, nay commanded, to believe that God is all-knowing, omniscient, and infallible. He is therefore inerrant. So, if God is infallible, one can come only to one conclusion, and it is this: God created homosexuals that way because He wanted them to be that way. So, who are we, as mere mortals, to argue with God’s intentions and about His Creation?

The conclusion: It is Christian's bounden duty to accept homosexuals just as they are, for that is how God intended them to be. We might argue about the nature of behaviour; but we cannot, and should not, argue about the nature of being.

Hence, homosexuals should be PROUD of their God-given nature, and both homosexuals and heterosexuals alike should be tolerant and accepting of each other. This will lead to PEACE and UNDERSTANDING in the community. And God is, after all, the God of love and of peace. Indeed, Jesus, who Christians are supposed to believe is the ‘Son of God’ and be part of the Triune God, is often called the ‘King of Peace’.

It is interesting to note that Jesus never talked about the concept of same-sex attraction and same-sex love. Had this been a problem for Him, He surely would have said something about it. — © Mark Alexander

This Week: Homosexuals (1964) – An Extract

This episode of acclaimed current affairs series This Week was the first British non-fiction programme about homosexuality, following reports on other ‘taboo’ subjects, such as abortion, suicide, and drug addiction.

This edition focuses on the problems encountered by gay men in British society, making comparisons with Holland, where homosexuality was not illegal and gay men could live freely without fear of arrest and imprisonment.

Bryan Magee, the presenter of This Week, interviewed over 200 gay men, getting in contact with many through the Albany Trust, before he chose several to take part in the programme.

The gay men were brave in facing the camera, although they remain anonymous, enabling them to talk frankly and honestly about their experiences and sexual matters.

Many of the interviews found their way into Magee’s book One in Twenty (1966). It was translated into eight languages and continued to sell well into the 1970s.

This ground-breaking programme undoubtedly contributed to the campaign to change the law and decriminalise homosexuality, which finally happened in 1967.

Gay rights: Life under Section 28 - BBC Newsnight

May 24, 2018 | 30 years ago Section 28 was introduced. It was - the now repealed - clause of a local government act, to stop a council promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship. That's a quote.

The prominent gay writer and journalist Matthew Todd - he was editor at Attitude magazine for many years - was in school in those days, and looks back now, at the effect it had. …

Farage Criticised for Backing Preacher Who Says Homosexuality Is ‘Abomination’

THE GUARDIAN: Reform UK leader records video with Essex pastor to support his battle against council banning order

Nigel Farage has been criticised for giving his full support to a Christian church leader who preached that homosexuality was an “abomination” and would lead to eternity in hell.

The Reform UK leader recorded a video with Stephen Clayden after Colchester council applied for a banning order to limit his street preaching.

In the clip posted on his YouTube channel, Farage assured Clayden that he was “fully on your side” in the dispute and offered to enlist the help of contacts at the Free Speech Union campaign group.

Clayden told Farage the council was objecting to the volume and some of the content of his preaching, including his references to hell and judgment. However, he has since acknowledged that the council raised concerns not just about the volume of his preaching but also his church’s warnings against homosexuality.

Footage of Clayden preaching last month, available on social media, shows him saying: “All adulterers, all fornicators, all sodomites, all drunkards, all thieves, all blasphemers, all liars, all mockers. Their home shall be in the lake of fire … we are here telling you what the word of God says.”

In the same session, he told passersby: “They hear about words in the Bible like judgment and sin and repentance. They don’t like hearing the holy words of God … they are offended by what the Bible says when the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination.”

His Bread of Life church also preached at Pride Week events in Essex last year and Clayden told a meeting the Bible described homosexuality as “vile, disgusting and wicked”, “a sin so wicked and detestable it was worthy of death”, and the “filthy conduct of the wicked”. » | Rowena Mason | Whitehall editor | Thursday, May 14, 2026

Clayden is such an ignorant man! Clearly, he knows NOTHING about HOMOSEXUALITY. And, seemingly, little about his favourite book, The Bible, either! He needs to do some serious studying of Christianity and its principles before going out PREACHING morals to others.

He talks about homosexuality being an abomination, and about homosexuals having to live in the next life in “eternal Hell”! (He would know, wouldn’t he?!) However, I have got some news for this poor, benighted soul: For many homosexuals in this world, for many homosexuals who have suffered the misfortune of being born in countries which have not yet been kissed by enlightened thought, their “eternal Hell” is in THIS LIFE, they do not have to wait for the NEXT life, wait for the HEREAFTER to experience it! Rest assured, in the Hereafter, God will take care of them for, after all, they, too, are God’s children, God's children who have been created in His image! If we are to believe the Christian message, God loves ALL of HIS CHILDREN — without exception and unconditionally.

Furthermore, there are many academics and theologians who believe that Jesus Himself might well have been gay. Over the years. There has been much speculation about this. This preacher should check out this Guardian article. This will be a good start for this man’s studies.

I should further like to add that Jesus came for ALL, but he was particularly concerned with the marginalised and the rejected. And over the centuries, gays have been nothing if not marginalised and rejected, even here in the Occident until recent years. Even today, in many countries they suffer great indignities, and in several countries which are ruled by the IGNORANT, the BENIGHTED, and the RUTHLESS, they are put to death! If that’s not Hell on Earth, I don’t know what is! — © Mark Alexander

Senegal President Signs Tough New Anti-LGBT Law Doubling Jail Terms

Screenshot from this BBC article. | Senegal has experienced a surge in anti-LGBT sentiment in recent months | EPA
BBC: Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has signed a new law doubling to 10 years the maximum prison term for sexual acts by same-sex couples.

The new law also criminalises the "promotion" of homosexuality, which includes any public representation and financial support by individuals or organisations, and provides for three to seven years in prison for those found guilty.

The legislation was a campaign promise of President Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and was approved by parliament last month.

UN rights chief Volker Türk has described it as "deeply worrying", saying that the anti-LGBT legislation "flies in the face of sacrosanct human rights".

The UN official and rights groups had urged the president not to sign it into law, but the government dismissed the international criticism, arguing that the measures reflected the views of Senegalese people.

It was taken to parliament after a wave of arrests over alleged same sex relationships, which were already banned under Senegalese law. » | Nicolas Negoce and Basillioh Rukanga | Wednesday, April 1, 2026

The BBC’s First Homosexual - Lost BBC Documentary on Homosexuality Brought to Life in New Film

Mar 18, 2026 | While exploring the BBC’s written archives for research on the Beatles, an unexpected discovery revealed a hidden chapter of history. A file titled “Sexual Offences 1953–1954” opened a window into the BBC’s internal debates about homosexuality in the early 1950s, how it was understood, discussed, and ultimately suppressed.

At a time when information on homosexuality was scarce, the BBC considered producing a ground-breaking programme on the subject. Despite internal support, the broadcast was vetoed by Director-General Ian Jacob, leaving this story buried for decades.

This forgotten history inspired The BBC’s First Homosexual, a powerful stage production that explores the corporation’s attempt to document male homosexuality and its wider social impact. Blending fact with fiction, playwright Stephen Hornby weaves together the real struggles behind the broadcast with a moving story of a young man coming to terms with his identity in 1950s Britain.

Now concluding its UK tour at the Sir Robert Martin Theatre, the production has resonated deeply with audiences. Viewers have reflected on how attitudes have changed over time, while also drawing parallels with the continued challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities around the world.

With moving performances and powerful storytelling, this production highlights both how far society has come, and how much further there is to go.


There is no doubt that huge strides forward have been made since the 1950s, but still, there is a long way to go. Even today, ignorance abounds on this matter in many quarters. Not forgetting, of course, that there is a vast difference between tolerance and total acceptance. And that’s in the West! God help those who live as closeted queers in Africa and the Middle East. Enlightenment is the answer. But it is difficult to enlighten the benighted! As the old saying goes: There are none so blind as those who don’t want to see! By extension, one can also say the following: There are none so ignorant as those who don’t want to understand! — © Mark Alexander

How Hormones Shape Sexual Orientation & Behavior | Dr. Marc Breedlove

Mar 30, 2026 | Dr. Marc Breedlove, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at Michigan State University and an expert on how hormones shape brain development and sexual orientation. We discuss how prenatal testosterone impacts whether someone is romantically attracted to men or women later in life, and what correlates of sexual orientation — such as finger-length ratios — tell us about the role of hormones in brain and psychological development. We also discuss why the number of older brothers a male has biases sexual orientation. Throughout, we explain how nature and nurture interact to shape male-female differences, behavior, and romantic partner choice.

US Deports Gay Asylum Seeker to Another Country Where Homosexuality Is Illegal

INDEPENDENT: Same-sex relationships are punishable in Cameroon by up to five years in prison

Farah, a 21-year-old gay Moroccan woman, is now in hiding in her home country after being deported by the Trump administration.

She had sought asylum in the U.S., fleeing brutal family violence in Morocco, where being gay is illegal and punishable by three years in prison.

Her ordeal began when her family and her partner's family discovered their relationship, leading to severe beatings. Kicked out, she fled with her partner, but her family tracked her down and attempted to kill her, she claimed.

Desperate, Farah and her partner secured visas for Brazil, then trekked through six countries to the U.S. border, requesting asylum. Despite U.S. immigration judge protection orders, she faced a third-country deportation by the Trump administration – to Cameroon, where homosexuality is also illegal.

Now back in Morocco, Farah lives in constant fear. “It is hard to live and work with the fear of being tracked once again by my family,” she said. “But there is nothing I can do. I have to work.” » | Monika Pronczuk | Sunday, February 22, 2026
