Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli, MP for Gushegu and a co-sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, commonly known as the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, has declared that same-sex marriage will not be permitted in Ghana.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values, the Gushegu MP maintained that Ghana remains committed to upholding its cultural and family values, insisting that same-sex marriage has no place in the country.
“I want to assure you, it will never happen. A man will never marry a man here in Ghana. And a woman will never marry a woman here in Ghana,” he assured.
His comments come after the Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, Moses Foh-Amoaning, has called on African legislators to resist advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, arguing that claims linking such rights to international human rights law are misleading.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values on Thursday, June 4, 2026, Mr. Foh-Amoaning urged African lawmakers not to be swayed by arguments suggesting that LGBTQ+ rights are protected under international legal frameworks.
“Don’t be fooled by the human rights argument. It is a lie from hell,” he told participants at the conference.
He described LGBTQ advocacy groups as pursuing a deliberate agenda and accused them of using deceptive narratives to advance their objectives.
“This is an agenda-seeking set of people who are clear on what they want and their hallmark is deception and that’s what I want to expose,” he said.
Mr. Foh-Amoaning further argued that references to sexual rights, constitutional rights and human rights in support of LGBT issues were not grounded in international law.
“So when you hear them talking about human rights, sexual rights, constitutional rights, it’s all false,” he said.
