Michael Essien’s Gay Rights Comment Sparks Outrage On Social Media by Konpresor012(m): 8:56am On Mar 03, 2021

Former Black Stars Midfielder Michael Essien has lost huge following on twitter after he declared support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queer Individuals (LGBTQI) community in Ghana.

His Twitter following has dropped from the 1.7million to under 700,000 within few hours of posting the pro-LGBTQI comment.

He had said in an Instagram post that “We see you, we hear you, we support you. Our LGBTQIA plus community in Ghana,.

Essien’s comments came after Police later raided the LGBTQI centre last week and close down the office.

He added: “Ghana, support equality.”

Essien has however pulled down the post from his Instagram page.
Meanwhile, the former Chelsea star has deleted the Instagram post supporting gay rights in Ghana after massive public backlash on social media.

Available data from socialbakers , a global AI-powered social media marketing company shows.

well this practice called doesn't make sense to me

don't think anyone one was born like that, they just tried it and liked it.

personally that's what I think

but at the end I think GOD should be the ultimate judge.

Romans 1:27-29
and in the same way also the men turned away from the natural function of the woman and were consumed with their desire toward one another, men with men committing shameful acts and in return receiving in their own bodies the inevitable and appropriate penalty for their wrongdoing.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive, 29 until they were filled (permeated, saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice and mean-spiritedness. They are gossips [spreading rumors],

Truth is that he his being paid

Most celebrities who don't have a stand and opinion are being used by international and local NGOs to spread homosexual agendas.

It is a trick, some NGOs will trap you if you are not smart.

Now every celebrities are now involved in politics and agendas, it is not a coincidence, these people influence their followers with hundreds of western ideas that many Ngos supports

One of tricks, is Ngos tagging popular celebrities and sport personalities on social media to force them to spread or speak about an agenda they have to their followers

It's anybody's right to support alphabet people, but it's also another person's right not to support as well.

What are u even saying? What about their field marshal (in the person of Bobrinsky) here in Nigeria?

U would have just said this is Ghana, that kind of talk not allowed there.
