Ghana’s speaker of parliament is of the opinion that legislators should agree to ban homosexuality in the country.
Professor Mike Oquaye, today told a delegation of Christian leaders from the Royal House Chapel international, the increase request by a cross section of Ghanaians to have homosexuality legalised will not hold under his leadership as Speaker parliament.
The one time reverend minister expressed abhorrence towards the act and people who practice it as he told the representatives of the church they ought to ensure parliamentarians tighten the existing laws to suffocate all attempts to have it legalized in the near future, through constant resistance.
“You’ll find that even priests are approving [of] homosexuality and having a man and a man marry and a woman and a woman marry. These are manifest abominations.
“I trust that with your kind of insistence, parliament of Ghana, which also reacts sometimes to the society which we live in, will find its way clear to strengthen the laws on homosexuality as they exist because as for this, may God forbid that it becomes a Ghanaian culture,” he told the delegation led by the church’s founder and general overseer Apostle General Sam Korankye Ankrah
He said he would act as the conscience of society and ensure the day will never come when people of the same sex could have the guts to be asked to be joined in holy matrimony.
“…I don’t want to see a situation where two people come to marry and one family sits here, another sits there and when they say where is the bride a man comes with a moustache and the groom too comes with a beard. You ask yourself, ‘what kind of lust is this?’ But you are the conscience of society and you can help people avoid this before it becomes like fashion because it is very easy for it to become fashionable.”
