General News of Tuesday, 13 March 2018Source: www.ghanaweb.comLGBT community in Ghana calls for a referendum on gay rightsSpokesperson for LGBT Community, Philcollins Agbedanu KrögerThe Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community in Ghana has put out a proposition to Parliament to consider opening a referendum for the public to vote in order to decide whether rights of members of their group should be recognized or otherwise in the country. Spokesperson for the LGBT Community in Ghana, Philcollins Agbedanu Kröger hailed US Ambassador to Ghana, Robert P. Jackson for enlightening the Ghanaian populace on the state of the group in the country on GhanaWeb’s 21 Minutes with KKB. “… he’s not being fair to the gay and lesbian community in Ghana because when it comes to human rights, one person does not speak for the whole nation. The posture of the LGBT Community is borne out of the US Ambassador’s statements in a recent interview with GhanaWeb. Everyone who was gay suffered enormous discrimination and that has changed in the United States because people have a better understanding of the science and issues.
