Gays are not welcomed in Ghana. We have no room for them and therefore no need to waste tax payers money in drafting any legislation or policy for them. If they are shy to assess the health care facility available, then they are well aware sodomy is abominable. The truth is they have no place in Ghana.

WHEN AN ARMED ROBBER GETS SHOT, DON'T THEY SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND HEAD TO THE HOSPITAL.

DOCTORS DO NOT HAVE TO SHARE CONFIDENTIAL FACTS ON PATIENTS SO WHAT STOPS THEM GOING TO HOSPITAL.
IF IT IS A PROBLEM, DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE TO BE DISCOURAGING THEM INSTEAD OF ENCOURAGING THEM TO DO IT.

WELL, I WOULD ONLY ACCEPT MAKING A HEALTH POLICY FOR THEM IF THEY WOULD PAY EXTRA THAN ANYONE BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH RISK STATUS. HELLO WE ARE NOT OVERLY RICH.

This guy is either gay or doesn't deserve to be in Ghanaian Parliament.

In my opinion,Ghana must come out clear with the issue of same sex relationship. Is either Yes or No. I say NO and what about you?

Homosexuality Is An Abomination According To The Bible
Homosexuality is an abomination according to the Bible (Leviticus 20:13). An abomination is a sin, a repulsion that disgusts God. Sin is the violation of God's commandments. Romans chapter one goes into depth explaining the progression of wickedness that leads to a homosexual lifestyle. Homosexuality goes contrary to nature as well as the Word of God.

No one is born homosexual or lesbian, the reason being that God does not make mistakes. Therefore, the advocates and practitioners of the sinful act are living dead when they make such claims. If some people were born gay, then God failed to give them the ability to reproduce and have children as such. Then; that would mean that God is imperfect. That is not the case at all. God does not make any mistakes. It is man's evil heart that causes him to behave like animals. God has created mankind upright; but sin has destroyed humanity.

The word “gay” and the rainbow symbol have been concealed, coveted and stolen by the homosexual community to represent their sinful agenda. The only truly “gay marriage” is between one man and one woman, the way God intended for it to be. The Bible calls homosexuals the “Sodomites.” This word carries the implication of judgment with it, for God destroyed Sodom for their wickedness, which included homosexuality (Genesis 19:1-13). Thus, it should not come as a surprise that all modern corruptions of the Bible have completely removed the word “sodomite” from the Scriptures. This is evil (Romans 1:25).

Anyone who has heard of the cities of "Sodom and Gommorah" knows that they were notorious hotbeds of homosexuality. Gen 19:5-8 "and they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.' But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, 'Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.'" The Greek word in the New Testament for homosexuality is literally "a sodomite". Jock is trying to redefine what the term "sodomite" means. (A term that has unchanged in 5000 years, even today- "sodomy") Apart from the fact the city was clearly destroyed by God because of homosexuality in the narrative of Gen 19, even the New Testament clearly states exactly the same thing in Jude 7 "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire." Any sinner should always remember that the God who commands us to love our neighbour is the same God who will cast any and all unrepentant sinners into the "eternal fire". Here are more Bible quotes, Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death." 1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals" 1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers" Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

Paa Kwesi the Bronx man, I can see you have used all biblical means to condemn homosexuality. Do you know the cunning obroni can quote the bible like crazy? They dare not defend homosexuality from the pulpit or else those of us who were fooled by their religion will wise up and maybe visit our roots and rediscover our religion which will have no room for such a debate.

Look at the hypocrisy here. The white man comes to introduce his "organized" religion here over a century ago. He then takes a U turn and comes back to introduce through the back door a social evil system no right thinking person can call sex!

Look at this good for nothing fool. We have far more serious issues to tackle than this gay thing. If he is a gay and is afraid of the long term effect of his stupid act he shouldn'T disturb us.

We don't have to waste money to provide special health service those who chose to adopt this God forbidden behavior. Rather call for an effort to be made to eradicate MALARIA, by making money available to the metropolitan Assemblies to employ those who have not been lucky to have enough formal education to clean our gutters. That will be money well spent than what you are calling for. If it is a normal behavior, why will they be shy to go to where we all go for healing; after all, no part of our body is off limit to doctors for those of us living like human beings.

President Museveni has been listening to the feelings of the majority of Ugandans about the gay issue and has now acted accordingly (BY OFFICIALLY BANNING THIS LIFESTYLE) IN SPITE OF A STORM OF PROTESTS FROM FROM THE USUAL SUSPECTS INCLUDING NUMBER ONE PRO-GAY EVANGELISTS PRESIDENT OBAMA, A SO-CALLED "SON OF AFRICA" ). Let our so-called intellectuals and "wise men" who always listen to Westerners rather than to their own people please take note. Our Politicians more than anyone else should respect the views of the vast majority of Ghanaians. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT TO SHAPE THE VIEWS OF GHANAIANS ALONG YOUR OWN BELIEFS BUT TO LISTEN TO WHAT THOSE WHO VOTED YOU INTO POWER ARE SAYING AND RESPECT THIS . ONLY 14 COUNTRIES OUT OF A TOTAL OF OVER 150 COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THE GAY LIFESTYLE AS LEGITIMATE.

Indeed our politicians and opinion leaders do not appear to be interested in eradicating poverty and endemic diseases like malaria (the number one killer in Ghana and Africa today)They're more interested in pleasing European and American observers, hence their misplaced priorities and preoccupation with the Gay issue.

This NPP MP wants healthcare policy for gays because he knows his party is full of gays. I know one of them sitting in parliament now called William Kwasi Sabi from Wamfie B/A. He was gay at the St. James Seminary, Sunyani and continued with it at Legon till now. Maybe this NPP MP Afenyo-Markin is his partner now, hence asking for health coverage for themselves. NPP is a devilish party.

So many problems are to be solved which parliament has refused to attend to, yet, you're calling for the adoption of laws which could be carter for gays' anus. Homosexuality is not a disease but rather a choice of living. Don't let us focus much about it since that could derail the fight against this societal norm.

MP's stop talking all this nonsense in parliament and prioritize the important stuff to be taking care of first, Ghanaians don't have the basic needs of life to sustain them and you want to talk about health care for an abomination which is not part of our culture. if they get sick they go to the hospital just like everybody else. what Ghana need is talk about better roads, water, electricity, school, agriculture, employment, youth initiative, human right, corruption etc.

If there is a "clear-cut health policy" for Ghanaians, doesn't that apply to them? Do we need something special for gays? It looks like our parliament has not much work to do.
