A group calling itself Advocates for Christ Ghana has called on the government of Ghana to immediately pass the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill for good moral values in society.
According to the Chairman of the Group, Mr. Edem Senanu, passing the bill would inculcate good societal values and ethical principles among the youth and young ones, which would help shape the future for a better country.
He made this known at a press conference held in Accra to bring to the attention of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, leaders, and representatives of government to make socio-cultural, medical, and scientific facts paramount in their minds in the passage of the bill.
Mr. Senanu said LGBTQ+ practices cannot be called fundamental human rights because they are not essential, vital, inherent, and indispensable for all.
“This posture toward people in a same-sex relationship is perversive across age groups, religious affiliations, and urban as well as rural locations”, he said.
He said studies show that about 0.5 million people tested by scientists show that there is no evidence for gay genes, and hence what people claim to be inherited genes are unscientifically proven ideologies.
“What they are fighting for is a right to be who they have chosen to be”, he added.
He noted that the act would cause public impact in areas such as health, lifestyle, and issues of equality, which would cause more financial constraints on the development of the country.
He said the current neocolonialist attempt to subjugate and destroy norms, values, culture, and faith should be called out for what it was: an overt, all-out war on Africans and their way of life.
It is a disrespectful way of saying that Western cultures, ways of living and thinking are far superior to ours.
He also called on all African States to unite and reject gay acts to ensure the preservation of their culture as Africans.
He said “We do not have physical space to cater for many other critical developmental needs therefore, we must not consider sponsoring LGBTQ as a driver for development.
“Advocates for Christ Ghana continues to express its full support and endorsement of the promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family values Bill to be passed”, he said.
