According to him, he is scared that whatever he says might be misconstrued as the issue has become a huge public topic in Ghana and the international space.
MOG added that if he said he supported the passage of the bill, some people might misinterpret what he said, and the reverse is likely to bring about the same result, for which he felt there was no need to comment on it to protect his brand and image.
On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Ghana’s Parliament passed the anti-LGBT+ bill, which is to criminalize the activities of LGBT+ people in the country.
