Ghana has not yet developed to the stage of discussing sexual orientations.

This is evidently not the case as that discussion is going on! In newspapers and on radio. I have covered this here http://madikazemi.blogspot.com/2011/07/audio-in-ghana-is-it-getting-worse-for.html

The story was planted to raise the debate in public places. The vast majority of Ghanaians proclaim one religion or another.It's almost non-existent to hear of atheist. No politician can agree to this no matter the amount of AID or donor support.(S)he'll loose in any election.Ghana has not yet developed to the stage of discussing sexual orientations. When it comes to Ghana,almost everyone is a Tea party member. It's similar to what America and other countries have gone through in history and time is of essence.

worsening situation in Ghana for human rights for GLB people

It's worsening reporting and not necessarily a worsening situation. In fact it might be a moral panic reaction to an improving situation such as increasing support for decriminalisation by civil society.

isnt this outrageous for people to be calling on gays and lesbians to be “hanged”? are we judging others when we even dont know what happens in bedrooms under the cover of darkness?
minority rights should be upheld…..if that is what they enjoy,they should be given the freedom to be…..instead of we showing love and care to people we say are morally bankrupt….
