Ghanaian Texas Kadir Moro concluded a series of solo demonstrations for LGBTQ+ rights in Accra on Thursday (Sep. 12). “Justice begins where inequality ends” or “judging others on their sins is simply an act of arrogance and pride”, were some of the messages on his large placard. He began marching after an anti-LGBTQ+ bill was passed in parliament. Moro said he is not a member of the LGBTQ+ community but is standing up for what he believes is right. In his view, the law is discriminatory. “To say that they are sinners and they should go to prison when you yourself, you are also a sinner? Is it because they are a minority?” he said from Accra’s Independence Square at the end of his one-man march.
