The National Coalition for Appropriate Human Sexual Rights and Family Values has expressed its disapproval of the alleged opening of an office by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTQI) rights movement in Ghana.
The Coalition said the office’s alleged existence was illegal and an affront to the country’s laws, traditions and customs and should be shut down.
Coalition executive secretary Moses Foh-Amoaning at a press conference said the act disrespects Ghanaians and undermines state sovereignty.
He explained that Ghana as a country had not signed any international law allowing the promotion of LGBTQI in the country. Therefore, any attempt by anyone to promote the activities of the group was illegal.
Mr. Foh-Amoaning noted that on the contrary, international laws such as the economic, cultural, social and political rights of the United Nations treaty, which the country had ratified, protected Ghana’s sovereignty to uphold its cultural values.
He accused the international community in Ghana of promoting an act which he said was alien to Ghanaians customs and traditions and violated state sovereignty.
Mr. Foh-Amoaning called on the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to move quickly to close said office and also arrest and prosecute people who allegedly broke state laws.
He urged Parliament to act quickly and pass comprehensive legislation to deal effectively with the issue.
“We call on all state agencies, including the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the Ghana AIDS Commission, the police, politicians and the media to take all necessary measures to protect our nation from the negative impact of this LGBTQI, ”he said. .
Rev. Philip K. Naameh, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, described the LGBTQI agenda as a “complete mess of the basic law of God in the creation of man and woman.”
“LGBTQI people clearly deviate from God’s creative purpose because woman was not created to be an object of man’s pleasure,” he said, adding that the Catholic as a Church would only continue to recognize marriages between a man and a woman to ensure that God’s creative purpose comes true
A representative of the Christian Council of Ghana, Reverend Godwin Amuzu, urged Ghanaians to remain committed to upholding the culture and sanctity of the state as believers in God.
Rev. Johnny Apeakorang, who represented the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches of Ghana, said the Association will continue to support the Coalition to ensure its goal is achieved.
The Coalition for Appropriate Human Sexual Rights and Family Values is an amalgamation of Christian and para-Christian organizations, Muslims, non-religious entities, traditional leaders and opinion leaders in Ghana.
The Coalition aimed to ensure the preservation of traditional and cultural sexual rights of indigenous Africans and family values.
He has been a strong advocate for the LGBTQI movement in Ghana since its inauguration in December 2013.
