Issues surrounding gays in this country often comes down to childish feelings about religion and some supposed immorality, when the important issue is about the legality.
And the law in Ghana is muddled enough about that, whatever ‘unnatural carnal knowledge’ means. And if that refers to gay s*x, then it is a wrong law that should be repealed. Who decides what natural is anyway, nature; which has no problem with homos*xuality.
Three students of Opoku Ware SHS, who were alleged to have engaged in homos*xual activities, have been suspended indefinitely by the school. The suspension came about after other students reported them to school authorities after allegedly catching them in the act.
The three students are believed to have been part of the Opoku Ware contingent which competed in the just ended high school edition of the Vodafone Icons competition.
According to Starr, the three received their suspension following the complaint made against them to the school authorities. Although, one of those implicated has surmised to the website that they’re are being wrongly punished.
This is actually a more nuanced problem than the discussion in Ghana is likely to generate. There is a legitimate case to be made against them if they were having s*x, since that is forbidden on school campuses. The problem is Ghanaians would be concentrating on the gay aspect of it, as if that in itself is what is wrong with the students.
The Starr report also noted that other students and even some teachers have described the punishment as unfair.
