The US Embassy according to reports has been hoisting a flag that represents Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community in the country. Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana...... date, Sam George said that the incident has come to his notice and that he will take action against the embassy. Sam George who described the hoisting of the flag as ‘needless display of showmanship,’ stressed that diplomacy requires that embassies do not act in ways that contravenes the laws and values of their host country. The Vienna Convention on diplomacy states that diplomats must be respectful of the local laws of their host country. If the host country criminalizes LGBQT as it is currently, it is an affront to the sovereignty of this state hoisting an LGBTQ flag in the country.
