The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has expressed concerns that the newly passed Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2025, widely referred to as the Anti-LGBTQ Bill, does not go far enough to safeguard Ghanaian family values and cultural heritage.
In an official statement addressed to Parliament and key stakeholders, the Council emphasized that the current version of the Bill is insufficient to protect the moral fabric of Ghanaian society.
The statement, signed by GPCC President Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, highlighted the Council’s commitment to upholding Christian values, the integrity of families, and Ghana’s cultural traditions.
“The current Bill does not adequately reflect the moral and cultural concerns that are central to our society,” the statement said. “We strongly recommend reinstating the earlier version of the Bill, which had previously received parliamentary approval and presidential assent, as it was more comprehensive and aligned with Ghana’s values.”
The Council reaffirmed its solidarity with the Government, Parliament, and the people of Ghana in the passage of the Bill, but insisted that protecting family values and cultural heritage should remain a legislative priority.
The GPCC also acknowledged that while the Bill may attract domestic and international attention, its primary focus remains preserving Ghana’s cultural identity and the moral well-being of communities.
