Koforidua residents applauded calls against LGBTQ + activities
The residents of Koforidua say the activities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and homosexual (LGBTQ +) people pose a serious threat to national peace and harmony. However, they applauded the MPs who led the passage of the anti-LGBTQ bill for a good job.
The people also called on all Ghanaians to stand firmly behind the lawmakers to help protect and preserve the traditional Ghanaian values and culture which have held the people together in peace and unity.
Speaking in separate interviews with the Ghanaian News Agency, part of the public described LGBTQ as a foreign culture smuggled in to destroy Ghanaian family values and should not be tolerated.
Some eight MPs led by Sam Nettey George, MP for Ningo-Prampram, sparked a process in parliament for “The Proper Human Sexual and Ghanaian Family Bill”, seeking to ban the promotion, spread, advocacy and support of funding of LGBTQ people. related activities.
The bill, which was then tabled in parliament this month for deliberation and review, has been referred to the appropriate committee for action.
Nana Owusu Bogye, octogenarian and retired civil servant, described the eight lawmakers as “the men and women of the moment who have seized the opportunity to protect the integrity and values of the country at all costs.
He said LGBTQ was an abominable practice, which should not be tolerated in Ghana and across the African continent, adding that all major religious groups – Christianity, Islam and traditional African religion – disapprove of homosexual acts.
Nana Bogye called on everyone to convince their representatives in parliament to support the bill.
He said it was unfortunate that some members of the public, including key politicians, were more interested in the sentiments of the international community and not in the destruction that LGBTQ practices, when permitted, would cause to the moral fabric. of Ghanaian society.
“Ghana is a sovereign state, and we must not allow donor funding and aid to threaten our resolve to protect our values and culture,” he said.
“After all, what have donor funds and aid done to us over the years?
Madam Yaa Tawiah, a trader, said that allowing gay and gay activities in Ghana would be an abomination, resulting in the wrath of God on the country and the unborn generations.
She expressed the hope that all MPs would vote for the bill to become law.
“Even if parliamentarians decide to vote against the bill for fear of external pressure, the Ghanaian people would rise up and categorically reject it,” she said.
