Maahma and his NDC forget the fact that there’re more NDC gays than there are with all the political parties , he should go ahead and verify the LGBTQ community and his NDC will lose come November !

Yes, is it not true we don't have proper data on these folks? They should speak up so they get assistance. We don't like lgbtq, we don't hate them either.

Even if you hate gays think of the health implications. When blood is being donated, we need to know the person is not a high risk gay man so they must be able to say it freely. When it comes to bisexuals like rawlings who fxcks both boys and girls, how do you know the girl you are about to see have not been with the man fxcking rawlings. We have to take an objective view or else we may end up doing ourselves in. So here is an amendment for jata, people who disclose their sexual preference to medical staff should not be criminalised as those medical staff need to know who or the risk involved

Well, when blood is being donated, you don't need to know the sexual orientation of the donor before the blood is taken. That's not part of the questionaire or requirements. Besides, every blood that is taken, is tested. The former president was caught in a position by a cleverly asked question about his stance on gays and he gave them what they wanted to hear, simple.

Thus is not equation, it is called exposing political hypocrisy. Listen and read before you talk. Anyway, I don't blame you, NDCs don't like to read. They want to be 'told'.

OYIWA KONKONKON, OYIWA KONKONKON! I TOLD YOU SOOooo! DIDN’T I ?
MAHAMA HIMSELF IS A GAY MAN IN HIDING! HERE HE WAS URGING HIS LIKES TO OUT OF THEIR CLOSET! WHILES HE HIMSELF IS HIDING AND PLAYING HIS USUAL CON JOB ON GHANAIANS!

As a staunch Christian: I don’t hate anyone like how NDC and some people always accuse me of my hate for John Mahama, the NDC presidential candidate for the 2024 elections: Neither do I have favorable opinion for the Gay rights and advocacy. But people who know me in person can attest to my deplore for people who “preach virtues and practices vices”! And that’s exactly what John Mahama is very savvy as his modus operandi!

When the scandal broke about John Mahama’s relationship with the American Gay Rights Activist Andrew Solomon: the former president vehemently denied knowing the American who played a pivotal role in the launching of his (Mahama’s) memoir “My First Coup d’ Etat”. Unbeknownst to many Ghanaians that Mahama has had serious relationship with Solomon several years prior to the launching of the book in 2010. And that Andrew Solomon has openly held an interview that was published by the New York Times on 10 February 2013 pertaining to his personal relationship with Mahama!

Again when the NPP activists issued a statement about Mahama’s partying with Solomon, the NDC communications director Sammy Gyamfi and others almost invoked spirits against the NPP communications outfit, claiming that it was a figment of the imagination of the NPP concerning the statement. But before I post some excerpts of the interview for the people to know why I detest Mahama and his shenanigans! I warn Ghanaians to be careful of Mahama’s cunning attitude!

Andrew Solomon— I’ ve neither the ability nor the inclination to meddle in foreign elections, and I paid not one red cent for the book John Mahama inscribed to me. The only way I may have influenced him on gay rights was by welcoming him into the household of a joyful family with two dads. It is deeply unsettling to be implicated in a national scandal, to know that my attempts to be kind and helpful to someone would become his millstone.
On Friday, Feb. 1, the president’s spokesman said that President Mahama didn’t know me. On Saturday, the president called me to apologize. On Sunday, the government issued a statement that Mr. Mahama and I know each other, that I have never made a campaign contribution or persuaded anyone else to do so, and that President Mahama “does not subscribe to homosexualism and will not take any step to promote homosexualism in Ghana.”

This is one of the several statements Andrew Solomon openly made in the New York Times on the above stated date! I SHALL RETURN!

It can be interpreted any way. It is only Mr Mahama who knows in his heart of hearts what he meant when he said there were no statistics and that people lived underground to paraphrase.

As President, he spoke the reality, saying we should not scare people from showings their true suxual orientation because it has consequences for the health of society. As an ordinary citizen he's advocating persecution; and what will he say if Ghanaians make him President again and he faces the real situation? His double talk is disgusting!

Ghana leaders should stop granting interviews abroad,
90% of these type of interviews and line of questions are strategic agenda paid by certain promoters to cord the leader into a questionable corner, so that they could achieve their aim.
never ever think that these type of interviews would portray your country into a better path,
you would get nothing good from these type of interviews

I read through the conversation and have not seen where he endorsed homosexuality. President Akufo Adddo Uncle Paul Aquah was gay with his partner Peter Pollock. How can he assent to a law tthat incriminate their activities.

No wonder he is associated with the world's gay kingpin, Andrew Solomon. Mahama is a sympathizer of the act, hence his intimacy with him. Show me your friend and I will show you your character. It's a fact that Andrew Solomon has protested vehemently about Sam Georgia's advocacy of the Anti-gay bill in Parliament, to Mahama. This development in Parliament has put some strain relationship between Mahama and Sam George in the dark. Mahama himself is not truthful and inconsistent at all times, hence his ''nkokɔ nketenkete,'' nkokɔbuo nketenkete'' and ''mprɛko nketenkete'' mantra crowned by 24hr economy which is dead on arrival.

This is a typical example of the dangers in trusting a politician. They always have 2 principles; the one that they live by when looking for power and the one they demonstrate when in power. Thankfully John Mahamma has been in power before and his past records will always be a yard stick to test his sincerity.

Well, contrast the answer then President Mahamma gave with this one; '' Yes the disease is known to be more prevalent among homosexuals and that is the more reason why we discourage the act in the first place and view it as an affront to our cultural norms an beliefs''.
For someone who has always created the impression that he has been against LGBTQ from day one, I find his half-hearted answer back when he was a president quite hypocritical.

How is this related to what is being discussed today? At the time of his interview, there was no any bill before the parliament of Ghana. This struggling to equalize matters is taking away your sense of reasoning.
