More Than 200,000 Ghanaians Are Gay Or Lesbian !

GHS data reveals that more than 200,000 people or  around 1% of Ghana’s adult population now regard themselves as gay or lesbian. The figures come from data collected by the Ghana Household Survey (GHS).

The 100,000 individual respondents to the survey provided the biggest pool of Ghana social data after the national census, the statistics service said 95 % of adults clearly identify themselves as heterosexual/straight while just a single percentage of those respondents see themselves as gay or lesbian. Or indeed have the courage to admit their sexuality.

Half  a per cent of adults said they are bisexual and another half per cent described their sexuality as ‘other’.  Just under 3 % of adults responded “don’t know” or refused to answer the question. 

The highest proportion of adults who identified as gay, lesbian or bisexual were in Accra, Takoradi and Kumasi with the lowest found in Tamale.
