Homosexuality Will Not Be Legalised Under My Presidency - Ghana's President by RandomAfrican1: 11:17am On Feb 28, 2021


President Akufo-Addo has stated categorically that Same-sex marriage will not be legalised in Ghana under his presidency.

He said this at Asante Mampong on Saturday, 27th February 2021, at the installation of the 2nd Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Ghana.

“It will not be under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that same sex marriage will be legalized in Ghana, It will never happen in my time as president,” he said.

His comments follow the raging debate and discussions on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTI) activities in Ghana.

Former Country Director of Amnesty International Robert Akoto Amoafo for instance has descended heavily on persons whipping up what he describes as hate sentiments against LGBTI persons, insisting that nowhere in Ghana’s statutes is the orientation criminalized.

“So, when we talk about lesbians, who are lesbians? Do people understand who lesbians are? Do people understand who transgenders are? And what is the definition of these people in our laws?” he asked

“There is nowhere in the law where lesbians are criminalized.”

Well one day.. it will... maybe not this century.. but someday it will become a reality.. but with the way things are going, it will be sooner rather than later.. the LGBT community is really gaining weight around the world... Am not against it, neither am I for it... after all that was how slave trade and slavery continued for almost 300yrs, people saw it as normal way of life.. and I am very very sure one day, the way the world (western countries) stood up for Black Lives Matters, that's how they will view LGBT Lives Matters...
We live ONLY once... and it's a very short life..
why not we Live and let others live... we don't know when we were born, we also don't know when we will go...
For the religious fanatics, serve your God in peace.. if u help God to do his judgement here on earth by killing them, do U think you will make heaven??
Ciao....
