A member of the Council of State, Mr Sam Okudzeto is asking the clergy whether it is only gayism that they have sin as a sin recorded in the Bible for which they are mounting pressure for the anti-gay bill to be signed.
He asked what the clergy have been doing against all the other sins captured in the Bible.
“We have even tried to induce the churches to sign the bill. All the sins which are in the Bible, what have they been doing about it? LGBTQI is the only one they have seen?” he asked in an interview with TV3’s Beatrice Adu on Tuesday, May 7.

Parliament unanimously passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2024 (also known as the anti-LGBTQ bill) on Wednesday, February 28.
The bill, if assented to, prescribes between three and five years imprisonment to persons found guilty of willful promotion, funding, and advocating for LGBTQ activities prohibited under the act.
Also, persons who publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, an ally, or pansexual face between two months and three years of imprisonment.
The president later indicated his inability to the bill until after the Supreme Court had finished hearing the suit filed against the bill.
