I know of 2 genders: man and woman-President Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama revealed this time around the government intended to sponsor the Anti-Gay and Family Values bill itself, rather than leaving it to private members.

His comments came after the reintroduction of the bill to Parliament. The bill was passed by parliament last year but could not be assented to by the president before the life of the Eighth Parliament ended.

President Mahama said two genders existed—a man and a woman—while addressing Christian leaders at the “Fellowship with the Clergy ceremony” at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

He stated, “I, as a Christian, uphold the values that only two genders exist, as man and woman, and that marriage is between a man and woman.

I have spoken with the Speaker so that a renewal of the expired Proper Family Values Bill should be a bill that is introduced by the government rather than as a private member motion.”

President Mahama added that “it is my hope that that consultation will see a renewed Proper Family Values Bill. I believe that my leadership should be a reflection of the people that I govern, and upon this I stand firm.”
