An Afrobarometer survey of the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) has found that even though the majority of Ghanaians are tolerant of ethnicities other than theirs, “fewer than one in 10 (7%) are tolerant toward people in same-sex relationships”.

This means some 93 per cent of Ghanaians are not tolerant of same-sex-oriented people.

Meanwhile, the Ghana AIDS commission says men who sleep with other men have a very high HIV prevalence rate in the country.
