Ghana's Attorney General Stands Up for Gays and Lesbians

Ghana's AG Martin Amidu boldly announced that gays should not be criminalized:

"It is illegal to invade the privacy of two rightful-thinking adults to obtain evidence for prosecution purpose," Amidu said.

In a rather candid manner, the A-G intimated that when it comes to whether or not homosexuality should be legalized, his view is that, it is improbable that it will ever happen in his generation. That, however, he said, does not wish away the position of the law currently and the difficulty in its application.

The Minister was responding to questions in respect of the work of his ministry at a Meet-the-Press encounter in Accra last week. Updating journalists on the progress made towards the passage of the Right to Information Bill, he indicated that the Bill is in Parliament and hoped that it will be taken into consideration soon.

Finally, there's someone with some sense up in there.
