Same-sex marriage will never happen in Ghana – Tampuli
Alhassan Sulemana Tampuli, Member of Parliament for Gushegu and a co-sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, popularly referred to as the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, has stated that same-sex marriage will never be accepted in Ghana.
Addressing participants at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values, the MP said Ghana remains committed to preserving its cultural and family principles, stressing that same-sex unions would not be recognised in the country.
“A man will never marry a man in Ghana, and a woman will never marry a woman here,” he stated.
His remarks follow comments by Moses Foh-Amoaning, Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, who urged African lawmakers to reject campaigns promoting LGBTQ+ rights.
Speaking at the same conference on Thursday, June 4, 2026, Mr Foh-Amoaning argued that assertions linking LGBTQ+ rights to international human rights laws were misleading.
He cautioned legislators against accepting arguments that LGBTQ+ rights are protected under global legal frameworks, describing such claims as false.
According to him, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups are pursuing a deliberate agenda and often rely on deceptive narratives to achieve their goals.
Mr Foh-Amoaning further maintained that references to sexual rights, constitutional rights and human rights in support of LGBTQ+ issues have no legitimate basis in international law.
