    I am shocked to read the speaker of parliament is encouraging parliament to pass a law banning homosexuality. How stupid can this be. If he cares more for his pastoral duties, he should resign as a speaker and go back to his ...

    Thank you Kwadwo. You are absolutly correct. I wish more intelligent people in Ghana would comment on this subject. It might help!

    That kind of statements are only separating our society. It does not help at all for the real problems we have.

    Sorry. What i meant is, that of course it would be nice to legalise gay action. But to ban it, does not bring anyone of us more jobs, or better income or less corruption.

    I am shocked we have so many gays reacting to what the speaker said. If you are straight as you claim, why are you worried about a complete ban on gayism?

  • Kwadwo. 7 years ago

    Mimi, labeling is a substitute for inability for critical analysis. I don't have to be gay to advocate the rights of homosexuals. In fact, I would be proud to come out if were and my family will be proud of me. I live in a co ...

    Homosexuality is like a plague and must be dealt with immediately. Countries which support same sex orientations should come for them so that this nation will receive blessings from God. We shall ban homosexuals in Ghana, Ame ...

    It is a shame people like Foh Amoaning is willing to call the local Chairman or head of Amnesty International names because he has called for tolerance for homosexuals. Will Foh Amoaning be happy if he's discriminated against ...

    Liberal thinker don't deceive anyone, you are gay so just say it and stop beating about the bush

  • DR RED HOT 7 years ago

    If you lack the brains to analyze things critically and make meaningful contributions to national debate, you resort to name calling and insults. What if he's a gay? Will that solve dumsor for you sorry ass Africans?

  • Joe 7 years ago
