Quick Glance: Court Decision Expected on Restrictive New Law
- A gay couple, Suleman, 30, an entrepreneur, and Kwame, 30, a student, discuss the passage of Ghana's anti-LGBT bill with Reuters on March 17, 2024.
- Parliament passed a law that would further restrict the rights of the LGBT community. President Akufo-Addo has delayed signing it, citing two pending challenges at the Supreme Court.
