Ghanaian gays to
meet Kufuor
 12
Mar 2007- Ghanaian gays in the United Kingdom are planning to meet
President Kufuor in a bid to get the government to amend the country's
laws banning homosexuality.
Speaking in an interview with Joy News, Australian gay campaigner
resident in the U.K, Peter Tatchell, disclosed that the Ghanaian gay
community is concerned by the attitude of government's intolerance for
gay rights, which he says are human rights.
The issue of gay rights came up in September last year following reports
of an intended international gay conference in Accra. The conference
never took place but stirred a debate and attracted condemnation from
the public and religious groups.
Tatchell, who had initially threatened to lead a gay demonstration
during President Kufuor's visit, said he has backed down on his threat.
