The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) has urged government not to succumb to pressures to legitimize the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBTQI) rights in Ghana.
The GCBC in a statement released Friday, signed by its President, Most Reverend Philip Nameeh, emphasized that “according to the Church’s understanding of human rights, the rights of homosexuals as persons do not include the right of a man to marry a man or of a woman to marry a woman. For the Church, this is morally wrong and goes against the purpose of marriage”.
They also pointed out the fact that the “European Court for Human Rights has ruled that same-sex “marriages” are not considered a human right”.
