Gay in Ghana ft. The Two Twos Podcast
My mum is “scared” about me going back.
It seems like things are going down in Ghana... A new anti-gay law has been submitted to parliament, which proposes a 10-year jail sentence for people who promote LGBT+ activities. The law hasn't gone through, but it's causing outrage in the community.
In this episode, De-Graft and Roshan speak with Sweet (not her real name), a transgender woman living in Ghana, about her experience in Ghana, and Ro Frimpong, from the Two Twos Podcast, about what the draft bill will mean for her if it gets approved.
