Modern People from advance countries will now reject ghana because ghana is against human rights! Ghanaians have no idea how this completely unnecessary anti lgbtq+ bill will affect our country in the future! We have shown the world that we africans are the most primitive in our thinking and we all think the same! The people laugh about our interpretation of homosexuals - we falsly think homosexuality is a personal choice you can make and that lgbtq+ will increase the number of homosexuals in the country!Most Ghanaians are so uneducated, they will even come with the argument that animals cannot be gay! backwardness at its finest! We have no vision for future we can only look back and do what our ancestors have done. This is the exact reason why africa will never overcome being a pisspoor shithole and africans will always be a burden for the modern nations. We are never going to amount to anything not now and not in a million years!

The Arab countries will not tolerate this craziness. It’s just barbaric and insane for people to engage in homosexuality. Almost everyone religion on earth is against this. Mills stood his ground but Akufo-Addo/Bawumia are weak, corrupt, stomach politicians who care less about the demands of the majority of electorates who put them there.

Boy Kwesi you're dead wrong! It's rather wise to stay away from lgbtq+ nonsense. It's the educated in the real sense not just book knowledge that do not accept homosexuality in its varied forms! So please don't insult our intelligence. Those who oppose the absurd lifestyle are not primitive or fools.

You cannot imagine Chinese, Russians and the Arab
States are primitive because they reject lgbtq+ balderdash! Wise up!

It appears Afenyo Markins must be an LGBTQ+ practitioner. He is doing everything to sabotage the bill. I understand Lawrence Addai was sacked because he supported the bill. Why are so many trumutrumu practitioners in the NPP? All these guys are practitioners: Nana Addo Serwa Broni, Nana Akomeah, Afenyo Markins Richard Ahiagba, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Napo, Frema Opare and Insults Owusu who is a senior lecturer. Are you surprised that the only footballer who practices trumutrumu Asamoah Gyan has been drafted into Timothy Bawumia's Manifesto Committee?

What defies common sense is why someone practising a kind of sex that is against nature itself would not want to do it quietly behind closed doors, where all sexual matters are morally restricted to, like all straight people do, but wants to come public and display his sexual orientation for all to know he's trumu trumu. What's the purpose and benefits of forming gay communities and publicly displaying your gay identity? As a matter of fact, I'm yet to hear one person defending LGBTQX speaking sense. They all sound so stupid in their arguments and defence of what not long ago attracted the death penalty in the US and Europe.

Much as I do not support gay activities, I recognize the issue of choice and freedoms under our constitution, which is being undermined by this bill,never mind what the proponents say. Why do these proponents of the bill ,continue to fine tune the bill to the extent that it has not reached the president's table? Now the narrative is that,the president does not want to sign. But ask and read,is it the president's duty to chase the bill to come to him? Why all these lies,when most Ghanaians are more concerned with bread and butter issues?

Now we understand that the Anti- LGBTQ bill would have been rejected if MPs voted secretly. Is it because Most of these MPs are in the practice of this sort of behaviour? Now the penny has dropped!! Well, we might as well change the house to “Gays Palace” Ghanaian citizens should boldly request their future parliamentary candidates to publicly declare the sexual orientation for the constituents to know the kind of person they are voting for. Also about their Alcohol consumption habits, substance abuse issues, gambling, etc.. these should be declared openly for the citizens to know.

Why secret ballot? MPs were voted to Parliament to do the wishes of their constituents. If majority of the constituents are against LGBTQ+ being shoved down their throats by the West why shouldn’t their MPs say so openly in Parliament? Afenyo-Markin is demonstrating a degree of foolishness not associated with a lawyer and an MP. A recording of voice played recently on social media and alleged to be his clearly demonstrated a terrible behaviour by a lawyer!

I'm sorry to be rude, but Afenyo Markins is a big fool. Kwasia!!!Abua!!! Go and read how Abraham Lincoln defined democracy. You seek power from the people but you won't make laws the satisfy their will. Societies derive their norms, values, and laws from the viewpoint of the majority. If majority of Ghanaians say no to LGBT+, so be it. If you don't like the bill, let's put it to a referendum. A true conviction is voting openly and standing your ground. We don't need lectures from a Nicopon like Markin. Abua!!!

Owura Afenyo, you and most of NPP parliamentarians are against the bill and are also working for your gays and lesbian masters and Mr Akuffo Addo as well. Shame on NPP and Mr Akuffo Addo. Just look at Mr Akuffo Addo is doing. Quoting Bible verses every now and then. Now he is running away from his belief and choosing to satisfy evil masters. Small boys and girls for that matter. Shame on you Afenyo and Akuffo Addo.
