Ghana 🇬🇭 Parliament has unanimously passed a anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

The bill prescribes a 3-year jail term for identifying as LGBTQ+ and a 5-year imprisonment for promoting LGBTQ+ activities.

Meet Vanessa Scott, the mother who held her baby out of the window of a burning apartment so the baby could breathe during a fire outbreak.

She slid her baby out of a fifth-floor window through the child guard bars so that the child could breathe and not suffocate.

Firefighters scaled a ladder to get the 7-mònth-old baby and save everyone as well.

May God bless all loving and caring mothers!
