Alhassan Suhuyini is among the eight (8) Members of Parliament (MPs) who are promoting the LGBTQ bill in Parliament.
Speaking on Starr Chat with sit-in host Francis Abban on Starr FM Wednesday, he pointed out that the biggest challenge of those in the LGBTQ community is harassment they suffer from Ghanaians who abhor the act.
Suhiniyi also said the controversial LGTBQI bill is rather good for gays in Ghana because it will rather protect them.
