Madam your country is losing it century old African market to China because of your trumu-trumu nonsense. Libya was the only developed nation in Africa. But US, out of envy killed their leader and turned the nation to one of the poorest in Africa. If today, Nigeria and Egypt has higher GDP than gay South Africa and anti-gay Uganda exporting more to gay-Europe than importing then your evil agenda has failed in advance.

They talk about democracy and interfere in other people's businesses. You want to promote LGBT in your country and are forcing us to follow suit. It's sad to be poor. You always have to eat the humble cake. Why should our economy suffer because we passed the LGBT bill into law. We blame our leaders who are there to squander the resources God has given us so freely. We should abandon our values and culture to qualify for support - you champion of democracy, forcing us to abandon our values for yours. Poverty is bad!

"I am saddened because some of the smartest, most creative, most decent people I know are LGBT." Really? So LGBTQ+ makes one smarter, more creative, more decent than normal human beings?

Somebody should advise this Ambassador to keep doing her job as USA ambassador, and leave our parliament to also do it job as Ghana parliament.
Ghana parliament is not there to issue USA Visa,
it is there to make laws that would protect the people of Ghana but not any other country.
if you cannot live in Ghana because we have passed a law that forbid gay marriage please close down your embassy and leave.

Lol, you lot have no idea how the US can hurt Ghana's economy more than it already is.

Last I remember, it was Ghana begging an American insutition, IMF (which your nation has been to 17 times now), to save your asses for a bailout. No more duty free traiffs (AGOA). loss of USAid to important social programs. Loss of US investment. And much more.

I would be careful what you wish for.

Ghana is a member of IMF in which Ghana pays her dues.
IMF is there to help it members who has economic shortfalls. if you are not a member who pays dues, you cannot apply for IMF bailout.
if you are a member you can apply for financial help.
There are countries like Switzerland which is not a member of IMF , Swiss government don't pay any dues to IMF hence cannot apply for a bailout if she need financial assistance.

You may have chosen your alias on purpose or at random. Anyway, in case you are unaware of the intrinsic situation of what we call today Ghana, this country doesn't need help from any country, let alone from the USA. You are certainly not the only. Like the Ambassador, you don't know that Ghana's gold was used to finance the voyages of Christoph Columbus to the America many centuries ago, well before Europeans started settling on that continent. And that God given wealth still abounds in our country today.
So, if the Ambassador can threaten us today with economic repercussions, it is because Ghana as a whole, including her leaders at all levels, doesn't know the economic values of the natural resources this country is awash with. In the particular case of gold, we see only the decorative, ornamental value. The US Ambassador can feel bold enough to threaten us because we are literally sitting on a gold mine, holding a huge begging bowl in our hands. We'll never be respected as long as we continue to disrespect our values and culture.

This most evil person and a number one Enemy of GHANAIANS and our form of democracy shouldn’t be entertained in our poor but respectable,God fearing and God loving country. She can keep all the ill-gotten USA filthy wealth. Who cares if you are the owner of the Moon but have Lost Your Damned Soul. I am not sure whether this creature is a devil or a paganism worshipper. Let this extremely Evil creature tell Ghanaians just one good thing about the practice of Same Sex. I want this repugnant creature to tell us the good things about same sex that Ghanaians are missing from this sordid and unnatural practice that she an ardent supporter. Has she been reading the Bible? Let this devil worshipper go to hell. After all who can blame this shit house Ambassador of filth to threaten our Nation? OUR so Called Leaders, corrupt and thieving politicians have made our nation so weak with hardship and unable to provide enough of our own local food. This has paved the way for the most evil governments on Earth to send their agents of destruction and filth to DESTROY us. Oh! Yes! We have some of the most Evil people on Earth in our mist.

Madam just keep shut where you are. Ghana's economy is since long heart. You whites came here with bibles to preach the gospel years back as such making most of us Christians if not the whole country. Now think about it, if it makes sense to fight for what is against God's law in the very bible you came preaching with which has this LGBT+ evil act as sin. You have the right to issue all those LGBT+ who are not feeling free and fine in Ghana to America and keep shut your face. With God in our boat nothing will hurt Ghana's economy. Ghana says no no no to your damn LGBT+ you can not be serious. Is the LGBT+ a party ruling our country ? So what is it going to hurt our economy without them (LGBT+) being passed/allowed ? Go home madam and do you doing at home. Here is Ghana the Children of God and most of us know what a sin is and the consequences for practicing your damn LGBT+ Why do you think God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Adam ? Are you more than anything to prove God wrong ? Think about it you have today to REPENT yourself for thinking evil madam.

VFCP divinely asks the US Ambassador to follow the protocol. The bill is now at the Executive Level—the highest office of the Republic of Ghana. The Republic of Ghana will not interfere with the White House agenda because it is an Executive Environment. The world economic institutions are not run by the so-called lgbiq+. The bilateral and unilateral cooperations between Ghana and other nations existed long ago before the so-called lgbitq+ was formed. The so-called lgbtq+ is not recognized because it is unnatural outside ethical, moral, human values, human rights, and natural principles. VFCP divinely asks the US Ambassador to pay a courtesy call to the President's Office to follow the protocol of the Executive Office.
