Ghana passes bill making identifying as LGBTQ+ illegal
Lawmakers approve a tough new bill, but rights groups say it threatens basic freedoms.

Ghana's parliament has passed a tough new bill that imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+.
It also imposes a maximum five-year jail term for forming or funding LGBTQ+ groups.
Lawmakers heckled down attempts to replace prison sentences with community service and counselling.
It is the latest sign of growing opposition to LGBTQ+ rights in the conservative West African nation.
Respect to the fagless nation of Ghana
