Social Issue,Out Of The Box: Thousands Attend First Anti-gay Protests In Ghana

blank

Somewhere last year at a popular NightClub in Ghana, the above picture of two pretty girls doing their own thing was captured and was mind-blowing to many of us. Few months down the line, a lot is going down in our country as “Gayism & Lesbianism”  battle hard to get society to accept them and accord them with various Rights. Read Below & Share Your View on the current trend of homosexual activities in Ghana..

blankThousands of angry youth in the Sekondi Takoradi Metropolis have staged a massive demonstration against recent reports of gay and lesbian parties in the oil city.

The demonstration on Friday June 4, is the first ever anti-gay protests in Ghana.The over a thousand protesters defied a downpour to register their displeasure as they went through the principal streets of the metropolis wielding placards.

The demonstration was organised by the Muslim community in Takoradi with support from other religious groups and concerned citizens. It follows recent reports of alleged gay marriages and parties in Tanokrom and other suburbs of the city.

At the Tanokrom get-together, close to 60 gays and lesbians from the Eastern, Ashanti and Central regions, are said to have attended.

In 2009, Takoradi captured news headlines for allegedly hosting series of gay parties whilst over 2,000 registered homosexuals are said to be roaming the Twin City, according to the Western Regional Focal Person on HIV/AIDS, Dr. Roland Sowah.

The Leader of the demonstrators, Saeed Hamid, told Citi News the demonstration was meant to draw government’s attention to the conduct of the gays and lesbians in the country, particularly in the Western Region.

The group in a petition presented to the Western Regional Minister Paul Evans Aidoo said it is much concerned about the involvement of the youth in the practise which they say could jeopardise their future.

They are asking government to clearly state what the law says about homosexuality and possibly criminalize the practice.

Mr. Saeed Hamid said a lot of expatriates in Tarkwa and Takoradi working in the mining and oil industry were the ones luring the innocent youth into the practice by influencing them with money.

He said most of the young boys involved in the practise are having health problems and are wearing pampers.

“How would you feel, if someone puts his penis into your anus?” He queried.

He was worried that Takoradi is gradually becoming a hub for gays and lesbians hence their decision to resist the ‘’ungodly act’’.

According to the anti-gay and Lesbians group, even though people had the right to chose various sexual orientations and associate with whatever group they desire, Ghana as a country mainly occupied by Christians and Muslims, should not embrace such a practise, saying it could have dire consequences on the country.

“Ghana will suffer more than the experience of Sodom and Gomorrah, should we embrace this practice in this country,” he noted.

Receiving the petition on behalf of the President, the Western Regional Minister Paul Evans Aidoo assured the demonstrators that steps would be taken to address their concerns.

He however advised the group not to take the law into their own hands by attacking the alleged gays and lesbians in their communities since that would be a breach of the law.

The group has given indications that it would organise a nationwide protest if no positive response is heard from the government after two months.

The Western Regional Police Commander DCOP Mahama Hamidu, who led his men to offer protection to the demonstrators, described the march as peaceful.-Source:GhanaWeb

  3. So is the problem partly economics? It seems that there are some issues that are not being addressed here. It is one thing to complain about the alternative sexual orientations that are emerging in this area but the real problem lay the causes…for one, the mention of money that is attractive to some participants in these alternative sexual activities. Also the miseducation or no education on safe-sex. If people are attracted to the money thus engaging in alternative sexual bx…then the sad truth is that these same people will also engage in heterosexual activities (because they are not homosexual or lesbians) but are forced into a sense of financial security (Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and Burton’s Human needs theories). This said, concerns about social adoptation by engaging, in the future, in a socially acceptable familial lifestyle may pose more danger than is now being foreseen. If someone is by nature a homosexual, this, in my opinion, should not be censored or criminalized, education would be the answer. On the other hand, if people feel forced, by financial constraints, to participate in this lifestyle, then matters concerning employment to be the main focus. Instead of attacking the symptoms why not address the causes? Strictly my opinion.

  7. don’t act like y’all dont know this has been going on for long. especially amongst the married women both home and abroad. here in london its the new trend. you get the young girls being dated by married women. i know this cos i get harrassed all the time by the married women who mistake my innocent looking face for a ‘prey’ and when i complained my friend gave me an insight into what really goes on.
    when i last went to ghana – 3yrs ago – my friend took me for a night out. she came with another girl n it was so obvious as she was holding her booty n stuff in d club. i was surprised cos she’s happily married with 2 kids.
    long story short, this has been going on way back in secret – boarding schools – and they are now coming public so stop acting surprise n stuff.

        • @cutie, lol got that right cutie. I see lesbians on Atlanta’s streets everyday and many feel like they need to prove something to the world. Some dress and act exactly like men. I only shake my head and think to myself — if these lesbian women think they are really men they should pull off their panties and let some guy screw them really well ! to see who ends up pregnant.
