Moses Foh-Amoaning, law lecturer and convener of Anti-Gay Rights Coalition says the billboard by the members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) Community in Ghana is an affront to the 1992 Constitution.
LGBTQI community in Ghana has mounted a billboard along the Tema Motorway to commemorate the Pride Awareness Month.
In an interview with host of Atinka FM’s AM Drive Kaakyire Ofori Ayim, Foh Amoaning said the LGBTQI community in Ghana is bent on desensitizing the general public and portray LGBTQI as the order of the day.

“The spirit behind LGBTQ is a determined spirit. It is very obvious that the community wants to desensitize the general public through advocacy, advertisement and billboards. This should send a signal to the Parliamentarians so they can pass the bill as soon as possible,” Foe Amoning told Kaakyire Ofori Ayim.
In a similar development, The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has also called on the Inspector General of Police to dismantle the billboard mounted by the members of the LGBTQI community in Ghana.
“As sponsors of the bill before Parliament and as Members of Parliament who represent the aspirations and will of the Ghanaian people, we have deemed it important to show up here today to register in the strongest term our displeasure, our discomfort and our abhorrence for unholy, uncultural and untraditional advertisement that has been put up on a very iconic road the N1, the Tema motorway.”
“We are by this, calling on the Inspector General of Police Dr Akuffo Dampare to immediately, within the next twenty four hours, carry out the necessary security operations to ensure that this billboard, which is an affront to the 1992 Constitution is taken down in conjunction with the MCE for the area. Failure to take action, as citizens we will take action as enjoined by the Constitution to defend the Constitution,” Sam George told press men.
