Madam, is Ghana the only country in the world that has laws that infringe on the rights of criminals such as homosexuals, murderers, pedophiles, armed robbers, etc? A crime is a crime before God and mankind. What is wrong here is, as a sovereign nation, we are not being freely allowed to live to our moral values according to our tradition and all kinds of faith. Worse of all, we are being threatened economic sanctions to adopt an immorality against our conscience.

We in Ghana have rejected the sordid ,sinful ,evil and dangerous unhealthy lifestyle of same sex ,unnatural and set with animals in our lives. May be we are UNCIVILISED. I hope the USA Ambassador is now aware of the laws against this practice in our country. Any move from her to undermine our laws would be met with some unpleasant surprises. She should be ashamed of herself. She has Not explained to Ghanaians one Beneficial thing about same sex practices and other unnatural sexual practices. Let this Twisted Character tell us or show us just ONE benefit from this Twisted and sordid same sex and unnatural sexual orientation. Just Tell us.

If you guys had kept quiet and not try to run the lives of others, this wouldn’t have happened. There are homosexuals in Ghana for a long time, and nobody were going after them, until you guys started shoving their behaviour down on people’s throats. Now get ready for influx of LGBT people from Ghana in your country.

Leave Ghana alone Ma'am. We have our problems and we dont want to add LGBTQ to our numerous problems.
Our health system is poor, how can we support people who will contract HIV as a result of LGBTQ activities?. It is a fact that HIV is high among the Homosexual community. Currently the country is struggling economically - children are allocated 97pewesa per day for school feeding, there are not enough beds in our hospitals - women who have given birth donot have bed to sleep on in hospitals etc etc and then the burden of antiretroviral drugs. It is all a drain on our struggling economy.

If Ghana says No to LGBTQ activities, please understand us. Promoting LGBTQ activities in Ghana will cost us economically and you guys will not support us. There is high unemployement among the youth. Most of these LGBTQ groups in the West will troop to Ghana and take advantage of our poverty and groom our unemployed youth.

America is an advanced country with the necessary facilities, if we become advanced in infrastructure, we may amend the Bill, but for now, we are not ready so spare us.

All the parliamentary members in the USA had or still practicing homosexual , Obama had a boyfriend when he was doing it with a man. They've all done it including their stupid celebrities who sells their souls to the devil and eat the devil's poo and homosexual. Will Smith, P Diddy and all of them do homosexual acts just to get fame and money. USA and the western countries are all demonised and they are against God and Jesus Christ hence they will always oppose the right way and go contrary to God's word. We don't want any curses on us like it happened to sodom and Gomorrah. Can the western countries leave us alone and let's be ourselves as an independent country who can make our own laws and choices? We will never ever yield to this abominable acts. God don't like that. I have never seen Lizard having sex with his other male. If animals don't practice that then how much more than we hunan beings. Gayism is very bad and it shouldn't be tolerated. Anus is for shit only and that's it.l, Nothing more and nothing less. Sorry Palmer the American embassy, we don't agree with Gayism at all. Our nations are for Christ only.

But have we not come to the realization that we are being coerce by an external force? why would the US take so much interest in GH passing laws to protect it own ppl. the Americas heave the most criminal law in history by giving citizens (mental/sane) to own guns and ammunitions'. a country which pride itself as safe and law abiding. a sane/insane person can get up one morning load his gun and fire into celebrants or better kindergarten children and end their lives. The all knowing USA has not found any solution to this barbaric act. GH is already in a mess economically, we have suffered the worst and nothing can break us.

The people of this country called Ghana are saying they don't want gay marriage- so I want to ask ohhh which Ghanaians is she talking about ?

2. when did Ghan a sign an international agreement about gay marriage which she is saying Ghana has undermined it ?

in the USA which body or organ is mandated to make laws for the American people ?
and what are the process those Bills make goes through before it would become law ?

IF USA CONGRESS HOUSE IS MANDATED TO MAKE LAWS and amend laws, in practising their democracy,
Ghana as a country has the same rules-
Ghana parliament is mandated by our governing constitution to make laws and amend laws for the people of Ghana in practicing the same Democracy .

I want to ask them again,

in the USA last election which Donald Trump loss, and Joe Biden won

why did you not share the powers between Trump and Biden ? per your own reasons - Trump lost the election with a certain margin while Biden won it majority votes.
what does it tells you ?
it tells you that over 40% of American population want Trump as president while little more than 40% want Biden.
That was the beauty of democracy
what are the majority of the voters say carries the winner slot.
does these means American is infringing on the Rights of the people who don't want JOE BIDEN AS THEIR president ?
if you are gay and cannot live with us please pack and go back to your country .

why do you in America arrested people who are on drugs and jailed them ?
do the drug dealers don't have Rights to sniff what ever substance they want ?

The majority of Americans are conservative and do not condone that progressive demoncrat lgbtr++zzzz+++ nonsense. Instead elaborating and implementing viable policies that will contribute to national development, ogboma and biden are promoting deviant policies that tarnish human capital, a determinant for viable development. Trump will be back to put an end to that lgbtq nonsense

Why is Africa the only continent that is forced to accept these practices? Are we not meant to be a sovereign group of nations with individual laws and constitutional institutions that are voted into existence to govern us? Why then do you oppose something the countries norms, culture, traditions etc stand firmly against? The Middle Eastern countries don’t seem to be given these rules so why us? I’m curious to find out why this is the case?

What a stupid man he is. He can't speak for me. It has not violated my human rights. These stupid condescending Americans, are they not the people who teach that Parliament is the representative of the people because not all the 30 million Ghanaians can be crammed into one place so we elect people who carry our voice and vote? We have made our laws to promote our survival. America do you want to kill us like you killed the Iraqis by falsely accusing them? We like the law made my our own representatives.

We shouldn't listen to the western world for all our solutions. Their country is confused, they have no morals, even dogs have rights over sensible reasoning. The Israelis don't listen to America, but still, America is pouring money into them( Israelis )while they are masacaring the Palestinians.

Doesn't Capital punishment like is used in the US in killing prisoners condemned to death infringe on the human rights of the prisoners? So why is the US telling us that protecting our society against the dirty culture of theirs, being introduced into our country infringes on the human rights of some of our citizens copying blindly from the Americans.
Is it not annoying and double standards when they the Americans supply ammunitions to the Israelis to kill innocent Palestinians not a case of the Americans infringing on the human rights of the Palestinians? Sanctions? Will Ghana be the first country in Africa to be sanctioned? The West can keep their money if they won't help Africa. Madam Ambassador, there are a lot of very poor homeless Americans sleeping under cartons. They need help instead of the billion dollars you are dishing to Israel and Ukraine. Sanctions? Nonesense!

Ghana is a sovereign state, they should be able to decide what laws they would make. Parliament has passed a law and no other nation should decide for Ghana. America has a law against polygamy but in their eyes is right, is that not infringement on others right? Gayism is not the culture of our people period. No country should be pressured to do something against their will. This is where you need people like Nkrumah

What is their problem if the law violates our human rights. We want it against all odds. How can this simple and straight forward law poses economic danger to Ghana. Since when did sex become an economic booster. Then you have bad motives for pushing this LGBTQ. If gay will make us rich, then please take your evil act and let's remain where we are. We shall join Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal. Russia and China are waiting to embrace us.

The so called Western Countries, can I ask a question? Why don’t you advocate for polygamy? If you agree then we agree to your TRUMU TRUMU or better still send it to the Arabs.

Those hiding behind human rights should bow their heads in shame. The future of our children is paramount and should not be compromised in any way.

Gays have been in Ghana from time immemorial. Nobody ever entered the bedrooms of gays to arrest and jail them. The difference now is that, they are openly establishing advocacy centers and mounting billboards to lure our young ones into their satanic fold. For these, we will arrest and jail them. Somebody tell those NPP human rights activists to go to the US to fight for men who desire polygamy. It is their right. Yet, in the US, polygamy is a crime. Double Standard! GOD IS WATCHING!!!
