She explained that the petition that resulted in her original refusal included charges made by a concerned citizen that she was unfit to be called to the Bar, which was later proven to be baseless.

''They gave two fallacious grounds and one insufficient ground, which all got thrown out, and basically, I won in conclusion.
"And the last one is the fact of my sexuality that I sleep with women. I said that is not a lie; I do sleep with women; that is a fact. But it is not grounds for me to not be called to the Bar, and that is it. My sexuality, I am queer, I am pansexual; yes, I sleep with women," she said.

See am and en attitude … Ama Governor, you are there at the #OccupyJulorbiHouse because of your LGBTQ advocacy and coz you were denied entry into the Ghana Bar, not because you care about Ghanaians .. you can huff and puff. You are never entering.. mark it.

@nii_kela commented:

Ama Governor, I saw you yesterday at the protest, & I was so happy to see you for the first time. I wanted to say hi, but then I didn't want to risk being snubbed since we weren't familiar. I caught a smile staring at you from afar. I'm a fan, by the way.

@Son_of_Neji said:

The fact Ama Governor mentioned she's pansexual doesn't mean she sleeps with bread; please go and do ur homework. I love her resilience through all these, how she kept a neutral stance since March, knowing she was finally getting what was hers and never said an ounce of the word.
