Deputy Education Minister Rev. John Ntim Fordjour has fired LGBTQ activists and diplomats for describing Parliament’s stance on the phenomenon as “backward in civilization and prosperity”.
In a Twitter post on Friday, Rev. Fordjour criticized the basis of their assertion as unfounded, naming well-to-do countries that have openly rejected the practice of LGBTQ.
“I’ve taken notice of some diplomats and LGBTQ activists who are describing our decision to protect the sanctity and dignity of our people and values through the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill as “backwards in civilization and prosperity. Would these diplomats and activists dare say the same thing to Russia, China, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar? “
The Assin South MP also stated that Parliament’s decision on the Anti-Gay bill last Wednesday reflects the choice of a teeming majority of Ghanaians and that Ghana is not ready to bow to pressure from the proponents of “obscene sexual perversion”.
“You expect us to respect the obscene sexual perversion choices of individuals under #LGBTQ, yet you fail to respect the sovereign choice of the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians on the choice of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values. This is our unanimous decision, and that won’t change. We will continue to stand boldly to protect the dignity and sanctity of our people and our cherished values”, he charged.
On Wednesday, members of parliament debated the highly anticipated Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, with no member demonstrating any objection to it.
