'I will prefer to join my maker than see LGBTQ+ legalised' - Alban Bagbin

He explained that being Catholic, he would rather sit on the fence than be a part of the agenda to legalize the activities of the minority group.

“For you all to participate in it, count me out of Ghana because I will prefer to join my maker than to live. That is me I am a Catholic and I will not do anything that will end the world because God says the world is eternal until he comes back, we cannot do that to end the world,” a report by dailyguidenetwork.com quoted him.

The report added that Alban Bagbin made the comments during a press soirée in Tamale as part of Parliament of Ghana’s 30th anniversary celebration, on the theme: “Thirty(30) years of Parliamentary Democracy Under the Fourth Republic; The Journey thus far.”

Parliament is currently considering a Private Member’s Bill titled the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021, popularly referred to as the Anti-LGBTQI+ Bill.

The bill is spearheaded by the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George.
