The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, has denied allegations of a sexual relationship with transgender musician Angel Maxine.
“Maxine, in her old or present life, contrary to her claim that she has had intercourse with me, I have never engaged in any such act,” he said on Thursday.
He added that his beliefs aligned with what he described as relations ordained “between Adam and Eve.”
The denial follows comments made by Samuel Nartey George, principal sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, during a clause-by-clause consideration of the bill by Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs in Accra.
Mr George, who is also Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations and NDC MP for Ningo-Prampram, referenced the allegations while arguing for provisions in the proposed law.
He indicated that “individuals who publicly identify as part of the LGBTQ community could face prosecution if the bill is passed into law.”
Mr George further suggested that social commentator Headucator “could face prosecution under the proposed law for allegedly presenting himself as a member of the LGBT community and promoting such conduct.”
“He now claims that he is having sexual intercourse with Hon. Ntim Fordjour and that Hon. Ntim Fordjour is his gay lover. That person is making such claims. Why are we saying that this individual is not prosecutable?” he questioned.
The Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, commonly known as the anti-LGBTQ Bill, seeks to criminalise same-sex relations and related advocacy. Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee has begun clause-by-clause consideration of the legislation following its referral by the Speaker.
