LGBT in Ghana: 'We exist and we are here'

Angel Maxine, Ghana's first openly transgender musician, says the country should accept that people like her exist.

She criticised a bill proposed by Ghanaian politicians, known as the Family Values Bill, that would punish those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Experts say that queer people and queer identities have existed in Ghana since pre-colonial times.
