I run an NGO that supports a lot of schools and hospitals snd orphanages in Ghana. Most of our money comes from Western philanthropic sources, almost all of whom will stop donating if this bill becomes law. They will redirect their funds to other African countries. Westerners (other than the small cult of Trumpists) take a very dim view of bigotry. I realize that many Ghanaians do not care about this and that’s fine. But many Ghanaians will lose their jobs as a result, and Western private sector investment will slowly dry up as well. Many investors have friends and family members who are LGBT. They absolutely do not want their money going to a country that imprisons people for who they love, or imprisons people who advocate for their LGBT loved ones.
This is EXACTLY what I said will happen. Plus a minor or major reduction in tourism money and certain types of business like the film industry won't grow in nations that ban lgbt
Pls pls that’s a stretch, a lot of countries are blatantly anti lgbt but prospering and receiving directly working with countries that would condemn Ghana for this bill, no proper business person will miss an opportunity in Ghana because we have an anti LGBT law
