International superstars Idris Elba, Boris Kodjoe, Naomi Campbell sign letter to support and protect the LGBTQIA communities in Ghana
As gay rights are been discussed in the country, some top African celebrities in the diaspora have released a joint letter in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
The letter seeks to support and protect the LGBTQ communities in Africa especially in Ghana.
The letter read,
In recent weeks we have watched with profound concern as you have had to question the safety of your vital work at the LGBT+ Rights Ghana Centre in Accra, and feared for your personal wellbeing and security. It is unacceptable to us that you feel unsafe
Some Ghanaians have also come to the defense of gay rights in the country. One prominent Ghanaian to support the right of gays is Michael Essien.
Unfortunately for Michael Essien, he lost 500k followers within 24hours after he openly supported the LGBT.
Meanwhile, below is a copy of the list of international celebrities who signed the letter.
