The bill currently being reviewed by Ghana’s Parliament and awaiting presidential approval has sparked controversy both locally and internationally over concerns about potential human rights violations.
In a recent interview on Star FM, actor John Dumelo expressed his alignment with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the bill, highlighting the party’s commitment to upholding “family values” in Ghana. Despite this, Dumelo refrained from disclosing his personal stance, citing a respect for individual privacy.
However, Dumelo’s comments have faced criticism online, with many pointing to his previous role in the 2010 Nigerian film “Men In Love,” where he portrayed a character dealing with marital issues exacerbated by the presence of a gay friend under a curse.
These remarks have sparked heated debates on social media, with users sharing a range of opinions on Dumelo’s stance and past acting roles.
The discussions highlight the intricate and contentious nature of LGBTQ+ rights and legislation in Ghana, shedding light on broader conversations surrounding human rights and societal values.
