21 individuals have been arrested in Ghana on suspicions of being queer. What crime did they commit? The “crime” that we all commit. Simply trying to live our truth. Our countries are killing us.

It’s heartbreaking to hear that bail has been denied to the LGBT 🏳️🌈 activists in Ghana, for the third time of bail application. Human rights for LGBT 🏳️🌈people in Africa comes at a cost #ReleaseThe21 I continue to stand in solidarity.

LAWS THAT FORBID HOMOSEXUALITY ENCOURAGE HOMOPHOBIA. We need to do something about that. If you care about the rights of Ghanaians as a whole, such laws won’t be in place in the first place. #ReleaseThe21

We stand with the Ghanaian LGBTQIA community in condemning the unlawful arrest and of 21 Ghanaian citizens on grounds that they are spreading the LGBT agenda. Ghanaian authorities continue to flout the very same human rights laws they claim to protect #ReleaseThe21

The injustices against "My People" must stop. Being queer is who we're. That's not a crime. Scrap draconian laws passed down by colonizers. We deserve the right to live freely and to love openly. #releasethe21✊🏾🇬🇭🏳️🌈
