FabGuys.com forum: Ghana, 3 years jail for identifying as LGBTQ+.

Ghana's parliament has passed a tough bill that anyone identifying as LGBTQ+ can be convicted for up to three years imprisonment in jail. If you fund or form an LGBTQ+ group the sentence can be up to five years,these hav yet to be signed into law. Gay sex gets you a three year sentence.....

I had gay sex last weekend with a man from Ghana. In Bristol, not in Ghana. He's lovely.

I think Uganda passed a similarly repressive law quite recently, too.

So if you are caught having gay sex you get sent to an all male prison for 3 years with no women and everyone else who got having gay sex.... And they this will stop gay sex?

Maybe they should've remained a British colony.

Might've dragged them into more enlightened times.

Fcuking terrible

It’s only in the 80s was the same in Scotland, couldn’t even dance with a man or be in as male only pub or party

I’m wondering how many fab members would protest or go to a pride March to show support

7 times out of 10, it was the British who criminalised homosexuality in these countries in the first place!

Sadly pretty normal in Africa with some honourable exceptions such as South Africa…..though even there tolerance has its limits. We in the west have a lot to be grateful for

Indeed, if you google the history, you'll discover that same-sex couplings were celebrated among various ethnic groups in Ghana in the 18th and 19th century.

That was until the British occupiers criminalised all such activity in 1892.

The worst of it is now it will used by people who have a grudge against someone , I wonder how a tourist gay couple would be treated , it's bad enough in Russia being openly gay , makes you appreciate the freedoms we have here until they're eroded by non indigenous persons who follow other faiths.

It was the British who dragged them out of their enlightenment and into repressive times in the first place!

A point acknowledged by Mrs May when, as PM, she addressed the Commonwealth meeting in 2018:

“I am all too aware that these laws were often put in place by my own country. They were wrong then and they are wrong now.”

31 members of the Commonwealth criminalise us, but the head of that organisation, Charles Windsor, seems content to turn a blind eye in exchange for the trinkets and visits.

I'm openly gay, and some would say obviously so, I had a great time I Russia. Their laws are abhorrent (as is Putin's war) but I didn't feel unsafe there.

Blah blah blah...blane the British...blah blah blah...blame white people...

Go to Ghana in your female persona and see how modern-day Africa view you...or me for that matter...

They're intolerant arseholes and it's their choice in 2024 to be so.

We Brits would be the first to object if Ghanaians told us what to think and what laws to enact in our country. Ghana has its own right to self determination and to pass whatever laws its people think fit - whether we like it or not.

Just thank God we live in Britain and let the people of Ghana live the way they choose and pass the laws they think fit without interference from us.

. Along with all other country's all those years ago. UK authorities have made amazing strides forward to all gay communities bringing in new laws that even many if not a majority of the public resent Marriage is certainly one of them

Absolutely - as a society, we have slowly managed to wean ourself off the dogmatic control of religious zealots. Other countries have not been so fortunate.

Take Palestine. Another place where Britain added sodomy to the statute book.

The current rulers have embraced it and transposed the British punishment of 10 years in jail into their own Sharia law.

Those taking to the streets of this country demanding that the rest of that land needs to be reshaped in the image of Palestine . . . well, they're certainly not allies of LGBT, that's for sure.

We've lucked out in life, to be alive in a time and geographical location where our sexuality isn't going to get us imprisoned or executed.

Hope the less enlightened and comparatively barbaric countries/cultures follow our example soon.

On reflection I now think the British Empire and colonisation was a bad thing. However we cannot blame the B.E. for the current laws in these countries. Most of them have been independent for 60 years and are not beholden to us in anyway and are free to make their own laws. Indeed I am sure they have repealed a good many colonial laws. We also need to remember we did not rule the whole of Africa. The French ruled a fair bit of it and, at various times, so did the Belgians, Italians, Portuguese etc and some of those countries exercised the Code Napoleon whereby homosexuality was not illegal.

Three year imprisonment is abhorrent but some countries in that part of the world impose longer sentence and even the death penalty

This completely misses the point. Its irrelevant whether Britain outlawed homosexuality when Ghana was a Colony called the Gold coast. The simple fact is if Ghana was still a British colony today, the people there would be free to express themselves how they wanted.

British attitudes and laws have moved on since the Empire because we are a much more enlightend society.

The bill the OP referred to from 2024 did not become law.

However, according to a BBC report today (30/05/2026):

"The parliament in Ghana has approved a new bill criminalising homosexuality and the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities."

"Religious leaders have pressured President John Dramani Mahama, who still needs to ratify the legislation, to strengthen anti-gay laws since he came to power last year."

Just be grateful you live in the UK and enjoy the privileges that brings you. It was Cecil Rhodes who said “To be born an Englishman (sic) is to have won the lottery in life”.
