A new survey by Africa Policy Lens (APL) has revealed that a significant majority of Ghanaians are dissatisfied with the government’s position on LGBTQ+ issues, with 85 percent of respondents expressing unhappiness.
The poll, conducted via SMS across all 16 regions of the country, gathered nearly 7,000 responses within a three-day period, reflecting heightened public engagement on the subject.
According to APL, the findings underscore growing public frustration over what many perceive as a lack of clarity and decisiveness from the government on LGBTQ+ matters. The issue has long dominated discussions on radio platforms and social media, with citizens divided on the direction and tone of policy.
Analysts say the results confirm a widening gap between public expectations and government communication, with calls intensifying for leadership to adopt a clearer and more consistent stance.
The survey has since triggered robust national debate. While some respondents are advocating for a firmer policy direction, others are urging authorities to prioritise transparency and dialogue in addressing the issue.
