#I’m not Ghanaian btw feel like I need to add that. feel free to take what I say with a pinch of salt cause of it

I just want to say that as scary as it is, I don’t think the Ghanaian anti-lgbt bill will go anywhere. Nana won’t give assent because it’ll go to the Supreme Court so they’ll probably put it to a secret vote which means they won’t be able to use party whips and without that I seriously doubt it will pass.

In my view it’s being used as a talking point more than something politicians actually care about, and even the finance ministry urged Nana not to sign it cause it fucks up their relationship w the World Bank which they depend on.

It’s really important not to become complacent (there’s a protest tomorrow in London outside the Ghanaian embassy) but I’m also saying don’t stress about it too much.
