This Is A Brave Man; Sam George Boldly Sends Strong and Important Message To USA, President Joe Biden -DETAILS.
Sam George, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, asserts that the US can only respond to Ghana’s concerns about LGBTQ+ rights if the US President endorses polygamy in his own nation.
Sam George was responding to Virginia Palmer, the US ambassador to Ghana, who asked Ghanaian legislators to respect the rights of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation.
“We are not commenting on the morality of this. We are just asking for people’s rights to be respected so that they be left peaceful and free from harm,” the foreign diplomat told the host of JoyNews‘ Foreign Affairs on JoyNews, Blessed Sogah.
Sam George pointed out that the United States lacks the moral support necessary to address issues related to human rights since it forbids marriage to more than one partner.
“We will take a lecture from the American ambassador when her government decides not to discriminate against people who have a right to polygamy in the United States.
“When the US is able to respect the right of persons to have more than one wife legally, which is allowed in Ghana.
“When they respect the right of persons to marry multiple women or multiple men as they so choose which is also the fundamental human right to association, then we will have a conversation. But until they are able to respect the right of persons in the US who want to be polygamous, then they don’t have any moral right to talk to us.” Sam George said on JoyNews’ The Probe on Sunday.
The MP further stated that until the US signed up with the International Criminal Court, they cannot lecture Ghana on human rights.
“…for now the US government is the last government that should speak about human rights. They are the biggest abusers of human rights and so we will give them a lecture on human rights. They have to respect the fundamental human rights of people and not the other way round.”
The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values 2021 Bill is currently being debated in the Ghanaian Parliament; among other things, it will outlaw the promotion of same-sex or homosexual behavior in the nation.
Concerns have been expressed by international organizations that the Bill would violate the rights of LGBTQ+ people, a minority group in the nation.
Despite these reservations, Speaker of the House Alban Bagbin stated that the bill dealing with sexual rights and human values will undoubtedly pass before the next elections.
That Bill will succeed,” he emphasized.
