May Black children everywhere be protected, cherished, and allowed to grow up in safety, dignity, and love. No child should ever lose their life this way. Rest in peace, dear Javits Frimpong. Your life mattered, you deserved a future, and you will not be forgotten.

Queer Ghanaians Help Fight Church Fire, Urge President John Mahama and Parliament to Fund Fire Service Instead of Anti-LGBTQ Bill Focus
Queer people in Accra are urging President John Dramani Mahama and the Parliament of Ghana to stop spending time and resources on the anti-LGBTQ bill and instead invest in equipping the Ghana National Fire Service with adequate firefighting equipment and infrastructure.
The call follows a fire outbreak at Jesus House Chapel International in Dansoman,along the Aliu Mahama street, Accra, where, according to Hajia Akita and Hajia Rose, fire tenders arrived without sufficient water, forcing people to resort to nearby school facilities and gutters to obtain water to help extinguish the flames.
They argue that the ongoing parliamentary discussions on the anti-LGBTQ bill will not address Ghana’s pressing developmental challenges or solve urgent problems such as inadequate emergency response infrastructure needed to protect lives and property.
Their intervention highlights the importance of prioritising public safety, emergency preparedness and essential services over legislation targeting LGBTQ+ people.

In a couple of years, we’ll have a Ghanaian President at the UNGA shedding crocodile tears about Ghana’s severe water crisis and pleading for all the help the international community can give us.
Meanwhile, we would have spent years allowing galamsey to destroy everything!

All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.
