Ghanaian Evangelist and Founder/President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has added his voice in the ongoing discussion over the passage of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family values Bill, popularly known as the Anti-gay bill. 

Dr. Lawrence stated that, the passage of the bill is in the best interest of Ghana as a sovereign state.

Speaking on the GTV breakfast show, the revered man of God said, "This nonsense cannot be taken to Kuwait, cannot be taken to Saudi Arabia, cannot be taken to certain parts of the continent. Does it mean that because of poverty, any junk at all should be placed on us?" 

Dr. Lawrence Tetteh further stated that, he had listened extensively to the intellectual discourse and public debate surrounding the bill, hence, he believes strongly that the bill is good for the Ghanaian community. 

"Thank God I have been to school and I've listened to intellectual discourse. We're losing and missing out on our crunch of it. Our cultural values does not accept it. Our religious values does not accept it. Our traditional norms does not accept it. I was born at James town. In that community, when you go there now, it is a mess," he stated.

The parliament of Ghana, on the 28th of February 2024, passed the controversial bill after three years of rigourous debtates and consideration. One of the sponsors of the bill, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Hon. Sam Nartey George, assured Ghanaians that the bill will be sent within seven daysa to the President, Akufo-Addo to assent to it.
