FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: STATEMENT FROM THE COALITION AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA, BIPHOBIA AND TRANSPHOBIA IN GHANA The president’s assertion at the recent Aljazeera interview, that it will take a change in public opinion caused by advocacy to bring about decriminalization of homosexuality in Ghanaian laws proved he was realistic and honest about the topic.
