The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has expressed disappointment with the recently passed Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2025, commonly known as the Anti-LGBTQ Bill, arguing that the legislation in its present form falls short of expectations and lacks the strength needed to safeguard Ghana’s long-standing family values.
In a statement addressed to Parliament and relevant stakeholders, the GPCC asserted that the Bill, as it stands, does not adequately protect Ghana’s cultural heritage or the moral fabric of society. The statement, signed by GPCC President Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, underscored the Council’s unwavering commitment to Christian values, national morality, and the preservation of Ghanaian culture.
The Council called for the reinstatement of the earlier version of the Bill, passed by the previous Parliament, describing it as more comprehensive and better equipped to address the nation’s moral and cultural concerns. “Its prior endorsement for Presidential Assent is a testament to its legislative merit, and GPCC strongly recommends that it be reinstated and passed without further delay,” the statement read.
While reaffirming its solidarity with the Government, Parliament, and people of Ghana, the GPCC emphasized that it remains steadfast in defending the nation’s values and sovereignty, regardless of any domestic or international scrutiny the legislative process may attract. The Council reiterated its dedication to upholding the moral well-being of Ghanaian communities as the debate over the Bill continues.
