I was really pleased to read about this and today there was a report from the World Health Organisation saying that if LGBT people are criminalised, there will be no way to stop HIV/AIDS. This comes days after the UN declaration about decriminalising LGBT people. It seems very encouraging, I was wondering how LGBT people in Ghana reacted to developments in their country...?

I suspect people feel a sense of resignation. Others are unaware what is going on. Many do not identity as LGBT so do not relate to this debate. Do you find this valuable?
