Anti-LGBT+ Bill: Do you know what women mean to me?

Anti-LGBT+ Bill: Do you know what women mean to me? - Bawumia campaign spokesman

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, presidential staffer and VP Mahamudu Bawumia

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a presidential staffer, has underscored the importance of women in the lives of men, stressing that women are to be credited for how long men live.

Aboagye, who is also the spokesperson for the Mahamudu Bawumia for President 2024 campaign, emphasized that it was not true that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was against the anti-LGBT+ Bill.

Contributing to the discussion on the Bill on TV3 (March 23, 2024) he roundly rejected same-sex relationships before emphasizing what women meant to him and to his peace of mind.

"To tell me that I support gayism. Do you know what women mean to me? Do you know how much I adore and appreciate women for the things that they bring to us as men?" he asked rhetorically.

According to him, politicians go through stress all day through to the evening and midnight, among other things receiving phone calls from constituents and subordinates.

"The only thing in this world that calms our nerves and reduces our stress and ensures that all these things do not knock us out of the face of the world earlier than God has given us is women," he stressed.

His principal, Vice President Bawumia, has serially been accused by members of the opposition NDC of being silent on the anti-LGBT+ Bill which has been in the headlines since Parliament unanimously passed it.

Earlier this year, former President John Dramani Mahama openly declared his stance on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community, asserting that as a devoted Christian and a member of the Assemblies of God, he opposes any form of LGBTQ practices.

John Mahama emphasised that, in his belief, God had a purposeful design when creating human beings.

The LGBTQ+ subject has remained topical in the wake of a letter from the presidency asking the Clerk of Parliament to cease and desist from transmitting the Bill to the president citing two cases challenging the constitutionality of the Bill at the Supreme Court.
