For @openDemocracy , I looked into the lawsuits seeking to kill the anti-LGBTIQ bill and the centre stage the Supreme Court is set to take if they eventually get around to dealing with the cases.

Fate of LGBTIQ+ Ghanaians rests on a court they don’t trust

Lives of queer communities in Ghana hang in the balance as they await Supreme Court’s ruling on draconian new bill
