In Ghana, child rearing is first of all the responsibility of the parent, which imo is a great vanguard against the on-marching groupthink. There's a variety of ideas and beliefs in the country, government has little to no effect on daily life choice, etc.

That said, the country is heavily traditional and it will take several generations until popular opinion is favorable towards public display of homosexual relationship. At the moment it isn't and can't be forced in any non-imperialist way.

Making it illegal in eg Europe to financially support homophobic organizations would reduce their worldwide money supply, and in the long term help their victims in all countries, including Ghana.

There are no homophobic organizations in the country. You don't need people going around stoking hate flames. There are no hate flames to stoke, just people not wanting to see the abnormal. You don't address that with economic sanctions (which seems to be the go-to whip of so-called developed countries). It just won't work.

They are plenty of homophobic organizations, eg the Vatican.
