This article is not considered a psychological operation. It reports on Ghana's parliament approving a highly restrictive anti-LGBTQ bill that criminalizes same-sex relationships and support for LGBTQ activities, with penalties of up to five years in prison. The legislation, which includes exemptions for legal, medical, and media professionals, awaits presidential assent and reflects ongoing societal and legal opposition to LGBTQ rights in the deeply religious, Christian-majority country.
