According to the website usatoday-tv.com, the Archbishop was "barred" from entering the USA with "immediate effect" after he condemned gay marriage and refused to officiate a gay marriage by calling it "a sin against bible teachings."

The US embassy in Ghana has denied some media reports that Archbishop Duncan Williams has been banned from traveling to the U.S.

The report added that one of the couple, an American getting married to his same-sex partner who happens to a Ghanaian petitioned the United States Embassy of the Pastors refusal.

“Marriages are meant for man and woman, not man and man. I do not officiate such marriages,” Archbishop Williams is alleged to have told the United States Embassy when contacted.

But the US embassy in Ghana said the report is a "complete fabrication."

In a tweet, the embassy said: "Please be advised: Reports that Archbishop Duncan Williams has been banned from traveling to the United States are a complete fabrication."
