First, the miscreants can't escape the eagle eyes of the society. Second, a crime remains what it is, irrespective of where it is committed.

Have you also considered adult male perverts molesting innocent boys? That's how some of these things start; and you say let them also do this at the privacy of their homes?! Do you even have a son? How would you feel if your son told you that a man sodomised him? Think about it.

I do not understand the disproportionate attention given to homosexuality when there are better pressing issues like the enedemic corruption. Why do we get our priorities wrong? We can say the society frown on it but we must accept the fact that they do exist in our society whether we want to acknowledege that or not. Those pastors should handle and get their priorities right. People steal millions and we just let them dance the system and go scot free. here we are obsessing about homosexuality. What a shame from speaker of parliament. We mix religion with governance when it fits ones own religious beliefs. We should be better off chasing the stolen cars, and properties of the nation

Mike Oquaye is a fake pastor. Homosexuality is a very sensitive subject and no human on this earth is capable of addressing the issue.
There is no chapter in the Bible that shows Jesus Christ attempted to discuss or discussed the subject during his time on earth.
Let us leave that to the father above, God will deal with those Homosexuals when the time comes, as God did to the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah

We should not make any laws to exclude them, they are all Sons and daughters of God.

Thank you speaker. God richly bless you and remember you for this statement alone. It is a sin against God, humanity, civilization, morality, posterity and everything that has to do with human existence. God told the Israelites that if they fornicate and do other evil deeds on the land he is sending them, the land will spew them out. We don't want curses on and in this country from God. What the vaginas and penises of women and men doing? God created it for us to use it inter-oppositely. Those doing homosexuality, who born them? Did their parents engaged in that to give birth to them? I don't hardly blame them but lot of factors which mostly all bows down to money. But that doesn't encourage us to do that or accept that. Those practicing should change, accept and receive Jesus Christ to heal them from this demonic influence and hell bound abomination.

Dear Speaker of Parliament. Dear Professor Mike Oquaye. When I read your article I only saw fear and hate in your words. Why can't we just tread each other like humans, like brothers and sisters with respect and love? Surely we have much bigger problems in this country for which we need solutions! For example what about the corruption or our health system? Please concentrate on the real problems so that we can built up the greatest country in Africa. A country where we ALL can live a good live. With prospect and peace! This is my demand for an educated man like you.

I really wonder were all that fear of him and some here on the comments is coming from. Where is all that hatred coming from? Out of your hearts? Your Souls? They must be totally dark. No light ... no sunshine. We are all humans. We are all sons of this country. We are all brothers and sisters. We (the homosexuals) don't even fight you. So where is all that hatred and fear of some of us here coming from? Why do you think you need laws against something that you can't change anyway? Love will always find a way. And Love is nothing to be feared. I respect all of you. Even the haters of you. May your hearts and souls one day will be free of hate.

Absolutely right Kofi. Originally the laws against homosexuality were brought to Africa by the European conquerers. So the truth is that homophobia was imported and never a part of our African cultures until they came. So if we ban homosexuality indeed we follow old European laws. That is not what any of us wants. To be ruled by even outdated ancient European laws.
