Moses Foh-Amoaning Urges African Parliaments to Resist LGBTQ Advocacy Efforts
📍 Accra, Ghana • by Kofi Asare • Jun 05, 2026
Anti-LGBTQ campaigner Moses Foh-Amoaning has called on African parliaments to resist what he describes as "aggressive lobbying" by the United Nations and other international agencies in support of LGBTQ-related activities across the continent.
Speaking on the issue, Foh-Amoaning urged lawmakers to uphold policies and values they believe reflect their countries' cultural, religious, and social norms. He argued that African nations should independently determine their laws and policies without external pressure.
The comments come amid ongoing debates in several African countries over LGBTQ rights, human rights protections, and the role of international organizations in shaping domestic policy. Supporters of LGBTQ rights argue that such protections are essential for ensuring equality and preventing discrimination, while opponents maintain that legislation should reflect local cultural and societal values.
The issue remains a subject of significant public and political discussion across Africa, with differing views among governments, civil society groups, religious organizations, and international bodies.
