Lesbians In A Popular Ghanaian Night Club,Accra

In Ghana, certain topics are no go areas when it comes to discussions. One of such topics is sex and homosexuality. Believe it or not, the act of homosexualism (both lesbianism and gayism) is gainning roots and getting bigger in various Ghanaian societies.  Those who enjoy and claim to be homosexuals in Ghana are advocating for inter alia, equal right, respect and societal acceptance in relation to their sexual orientation.

Though Ghana is not Sodom and Gomorrah, what is your take on this? What does your conscience and morals dictate when it comes to the issues of homosexuals in Ghana? Do you think they should be allowed to freely practice their sexual orientation in our contemporary Ghana? Do they have any rights or should society embrace them all and accept them as part of us? Share your mind!

  1. To me, homosexuals are disgusting and stupid, we do not need them in Ghana. If i ever find my family member as one of such, I will just castrate him or better still give him some nice afternoon soup mixed with DDT.

    How on earth will such people think they should be allowed to operate freely in Ghana or have rights in our dear country Ghana? We are God fearing nation and that is why God has blessed us so much. If such people are allowed , The curse of God will befall us.

    Imagine seeing two guys kissing at kaneshie or circle, Yuck! No gays or whatsoever in Ghana, we dont need them. Morally, it is no for me

    • @akosuaghana, madam calm down.
      We are different ppl with different desires. So far as no homo is trying to abuse u,, let them be.
      I think morally its wrong, but so is straight sex before marriage wrong. Would u argue that it should also be outlawed?So far as there are no peverts involved, then its withing their own liberty to do what they want. Pls let them be!

      • I think your comment is not bad, but i think that we can not let them be. who know all these lesbian and homo is the cause of these hardship in the world, look at all the countries that have allowed this, look at what they are going through. as our sister said before Ghana is a blessed country and we don’t need that. we definately don’t want the wrath of God upon us. as if we don’t have enough problems going on already.

      • @capecoast,
        i really feel sorry for these gays and lesbians.forget about it being morally wrong
        how many animals are recorded in history to be attracted to the same sex
        even dogs and pigs shag the opposite sex.though homos and lesbians have been 
        around for years,it has always been associated with overindulgent
        sexual acts for so called high societies.we Ghanaians should think 
        about the future.one the other hand there may be those genetically abnormal
        people in our society (kojo Basia) these people need some medical and psychological intervention just like we would treat a mentally ill person.

  3. It should never be legalised. God made Adam and Eve and not adam and steve. Gays said that they where borned with it wich i think is a bullshit. Its a choice. and i pray that Ghana will not legalize this shit.

  10. “supi” legal or illegal; there is always going to be a segment of Ghanaians ready and willing to do WHATEVER against “suspected” homosexuals.

    How about India for the way forward, its not legal or illegal there but those who struggle with thier “sexual identity” are given one holiday to practice thier dressing in women’s clothes or vice versa, then the rest of the year, they go back to being what is socially acceptable.

  13. I don’t think they should be given societal recognition. My question is this- how many female animals try to mate with other female animals? How many male animals try to mate with other male animals? Even animals don’t do it why should we the more advanced and sensible humans?

  16. i disagree i dont think homosexuality should be accepted its true ghana is a god fearing nation and it should not be permitted. the bible even speaks of these things and it clearly states that “if two men are to lie together they should be burnt” or something along those lines…although no one is perferct and we are prone to sin by accepting homosexuality and aiding and abetting it you are as bad as them…such things should not be allowed in such places especially AFRICA…just because the western world has accepted homosexuality does not mean continents such as africa etc should follow!…it is an abomination god created adam and eve not adam and kwame!…anyways these are all signs of rapture anyway

  17. Back in the day, white people came to Ghana and considered anyone of colour to be a type of sub human, inferior beings, good for hard labour but not for culture, arts or science or even polite society. The attitudes they had towards Africans and  the attitudes expressed about homosexuality on this board are pretty much the same. The same familiar themes of prejudice, disrespect and disgust that drove those European countries to invade Africa and rape our continent are also prevalent here. How sad. Reading some of the opinions on this board makes me sorry for our species, I wonder, will we ever evolve? Will we ever grow up?

    • @One, I think we will evolve One, and what you said about youth is precisely right. We are young and perhaps the posts on here are passionate.

      My question to you is, what is the way forward? The best change that happens in an African nation is always incrimental. I would like to remind the readers that Arabs have a history of taking slave boys and sharing him amongst themselves so before we blame all this on the whiteman lets look at our own backyard!

      But seriously though One, what are your suggestions? Cause if Ghana can hardly work on legislation to regulate piracy of Ghanaian films or the utter poverty musicians sometimes have to deal with how exactly is it going to protects the rights of these Ghanaians…the situation is gloomy at best and better left for the next generation to deal with.

    • @afua, I think its cause of poverty. I cannot say i have see an actual committed couple in Ghana but I know for a fact, young men do this to get easy money from tourists and rich local men with a taste for it

  20. PLEASE I HAVE A DOG THAT THINKS JUST AS YOU DO I BELIEVE BOTH OF YOU WILL MAKE A PERFECT COUPLE !

    @cutie,I’m a girl Otua is a female name, i just mean they are humans like us just that they have a different sexual orientation

  21. Letr’s see HOMOSEXUALITY as a way of birth controll in AFRICA since we can not CATER for our KIDS.. All we want is SEX without thinking of how to take care of the BABIES we produce.

    Reply
    • @sexyman, Hmm. If you had explained yourself from a purely scientific perspective you’d not be causing all this controversy.

      Okay folks, let me explain why Sexyman has a point, look at your family, the one’s that are of marrying age: ARE ALL OF THEM MARRIED or otherwise IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?

      It is said that 3 in ten of every person in the world practices a “socially unacceptable” sexual lifestyle, as a Ghanaian, i don’t want to commit genocide( AFRICA HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THAT).

      I just want us to deal with it for what it is, SAFE SEX first and formost, MONOGOMY of utmost importance. Im tired of the media releasing news of homo’s who are prostituting themselves to make a living(and it happening in small towns mind you not just the big city).

      If I had a family member who was scared to come out, fine, I just want him/her to practice save sex and be with one partner.

  22. wow this is really ignorant.. all u people are homophobes, homosexuals are still human and should be treated as such. we have no right to judge others because we are not perfect ourselves. i am not a homosexual and I’m not an ignorant homophobe either… just leave them be!

    Reply
  23. Lol it pity me when u speak the truth or hit the real face of a matter people call it as a judge! It is good to leave this gays and lesbians alone for sure.But in the actuall fact! animals are better than them.U can’t tell me your sexual preference is to date your fellow woman or a man.Are u telling me that God was crazy to create u as a man or a woman?Little do they know cause they are been already possessed by Evil spirit so they see nothing wrong about that.

  24. Chris, I think this topic needs revisiting except from a scientific/statistical standpoint. I keeps getting rehashed and mashed in with God.

    Sorry Noble but i disagree with you, the reason God gave us free will is so that we will know when we commit a sin and learn to go back to him and beg for forgiveness FREE WILL he wouldn’t want us coming to him because our “government said we need to ask for forgiveness”.

    So please, don’t mislead us.

    Now if you are on the side that says homo’s are sinners fine, once again, FREE WILL, it is up to the individual to go back to God to ask for forgiveness, and if they choose not to then fine.

  25. Friends in Ghana, the ignorance and prejudice that so many of you posting comments is sadly familiar to me. I’m an Anglican priest and I am gay. I have known I was gay since I was 11. God called me, a gay man, as a priest in his church. God hasn’t killed me and I don’t believe in a God who is abusive, vindictive or who punishes people for being the way God has created us. African ignorance about human sexuality is frightening. All of you posting here know people who are gay and lesbian but you don’t know who they are because out of fear of your prejudice, they hide themselves.

    • Dude are you serious you knew from the age of 11 that you where gay and God called you a gay man lmao this is the most hilarious comment I have seen hahahahahhaah man wake u and snap out of your dream
