How can the churches prevent same sex marriage when powerful politicians are homosexual? For example, the NPP Director of Communications being Chairman o f the Osu Gay Club, don't you think if NPP (in the unlikely event, and may the Almighty God forbid) wins in 2016, Nana will not legalise same sex marriage and marijuana?

now that people realize that our partisan politics is nothing but tribalism that enables pepeni and ayigbe primitive idiots to sit on the throne , they wish to use this as a diversion from the real issues. if they wanted to show how liberal they are they would have opted to legalize marijuana but since they are all warped in their minds they are more attracted to perverse abnormal trends such as corruption sodomy and homosexuality

You are right about powerful politicians but which president slept in the house of a homosexual and denied it. Isn't his vice constantly denying he's a poof. A poof is a poof and we should not bring politics into it.

Don't say stupid things if you don't understand the issue. Homosexuality was in Africa way before the Whiteman set foot in this continent.

I don't agree with the sexual preference of
homosexuals but we should speak and write as intelligent and educated people and not as emotional wrecks who will blame every problem in Africa on White people. Can we be responsible for our own shortcomings instead of always blaming it on the guy behind the tree?

Since you are at it, go ahead and blame the West for Ebola and cholera too.

It is unfortunate you can have access to Christianity, formal education, healthcare, democratic governance, western businesses, technology,movies, western goods and services created without discrimination and now discriminating and insulting the mouth that feeds you.
Sexuality has been with man for time immemorial. We are in a world where discrimination cannot be tolerated.
You are not God. Leave God to judge. Try to understand human beings and tolerate differences. Ghana has medications for HIV/AiIDS because of sacrifice of the Gay and Lesbian communities in US and their activism to bring medications from lab to humans .

Appreciate what West is doing for Africa. Africa can help herself not through blaming the West for their troubles but appreciating what they have, take care of their people and environment. We are able to communicate on this forum because the West made it possible. Christianity,formal education, technology, health, governance and more were introduced to Africa by the West. The West discovered Africa and not the other way. The West built ships that could reach Africa, built planes that could reach Africa, built internet that reached Africa,built computers and phones that Africans are using to insult the West. Please stop insulting the mouth that feeds you. Tolerate the people that bring you Bible,water purification systems, education,food,clothes,vehicles. Work on getting beyond tribal differences to work for a common goal- prosperity for all humanity.

There's no difference between this man's crusade to destroy gays, and the activities of terrorist groups like Isis or al Qaeda. They are all targeting sections of the populations they disagree with to destroy. I hope the United States department of homeland security as well as the U.S. embassy in Ghana have taken note of Foh Amoaning's plot to eliminate whole sections of Ghanaian society. The world must know who to hold responsible for any acts of genocide against lgbt people in Ghana.

And this idiot calls himself a lawyer! Does he know the difference between a secular state, which the republic of Ghana is, and theocratic states like Iran? Ghana recognizes and respects all religions. The basic law of the land is the constitution not some "holy book". So what's this bloody noise about Christianity, Islam etc? Who has stopped Moses Foh Amoaning from practising his religion? Will he stop the noise and allow Ghanaians to think about more important stuff?

The University of Ghana should sack this person for bringing the faculty of law into disrepute.
Charges against Foh Amoaning:
1) His incitement to hatred against LGBT Ghanaians is unethical, imoral and in contravention of Ghanaian constitutional law and breaches duty to comply with Ghana's UN Human Rights Treaty obligations.
2) His confusion of the principles of a secular state recognised in law.
3) His deeply offensive remarks to the leaders of countries that have a long history of friendship and good relations with Ghana.
4) His many lies and illogical arguments reveal him to be unsuitable and not a fit academic to teach law to university students.
5) All the above bring the University of Ghana into disrepute and risks backlash in attracting foreign students and investment funding.

I respect your opinion. However one does not need religion to know what is good or bad. The moment you address such evil act with christianity, you can not win because religion(christianity or Islam) is equally toxic to the African mind. It has divided us more than anything. This must be a call to WE THE PEOPLE, not any specific group of people e.g. a religion forced by these same evils who are forcing homosexuality on us. No wonder, we left our only supreme GOD, AMEN- RA to worship an alien god. and in addition, mentally enslaved society. No insult please, but the dress code for our legal institution is a clear evidence of mental slavery. We can not even change a simple dress given to us by our colonial masters, how can we fight homosexuality?

This uncivilised and intellectually bankrupt should lay off gays and lesbians should devote his energy towards fighting far more serious discrimination and crimes being committed against albinos.

He is lucky he wasn't killed and his body pars used in rituals by superstitious pple like him who believe that albinos provide potent raw materials for powerful juju! But does he think he is still not at risk, with the albino body hunters still at large and can pounce on him any time he was at the wrong place?

Ghana is a secular state and we cannot be dictated to by the superstitious beliefs of Christians and Muslims.

It is embarrassingly naïve to claim as the "lawyer" does that gays are responsible for the perverse social decadence we see in modern society.

Fo is a "Christian" and a lawyer and wears western suit because the West brought Christianity and formal education to Ghana. We are communicating on a forum that is made possible by the West, we play soccer and watch soccer on TV developed by the West, we fly planes developed by the same people you are discriminating against. Learn to tolerate differences to make the world a better place.

At the moment you cannot hatch the egg.
Learn to tolerate differences. The sleek phones, the internet, the movies, the clothes, the vehicles, computers are available for you to use because gays and lesbians are tolerated in civilized societies. If you kill them, you will continue to live in the dark and blame your government for dumsor. Do not be God! Do not judge! Be honest and show your identity.

I guess killing people is in our culture then? And very Christian too. You are just a homophobe with murderous tendencies. You may want to see a psychiatrist to address your hateful instincts.

Where does one start? Gaysm? What is it? Churches should pray for this hateful man who seems obsessed by homosexuality. Why is this homophobe so worried about two people getting married? If he isn't into it, he shouldn't marry another man. Pretty simple. A crusader and a homophobe. But hey... they scream cause they are fighting a lost battle. Freedom always win in the end.

Religion is stupid to discriminate against gay ism. Sin is sin so don't overate gays as Cardinal sinners. There is no God anyway so love your neighbor as thyself.

A guy decides that maybe he'd like to have a pet and goes to a pet shop.
After looking around he spots a parrot sitting on a little perch; it doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says out loud, "Geez, I wonder what happened to this parrot?"

"I was born this way," says the parrot. "I'm a defective parrot."

"Ha, ha," the guy laughs. "It sounded like this parrot actually understood what I said and answered me."

"I understand every word," says the parrot. "I am a highly intelligent and thoroughly educated bird."

"Yeah?" the guy asks. "Then answer this: how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?"

"Well," the parrot says, "this is a little embarrassing, but since you asked, I will tell you. I wrap my little parrot penis around this wooden bar, kind of like a little hook. You can't see it because of my feathers."

"Wow," says the guy, "you really can understand and answer; can't you?"

"Of course. I speak both Spanish and English. I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any subject: politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy. And I am especially good at ornithology. You should buy me; I am a great companion."

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag. He says. "I can't afford that."

"Pssst," the parrot hisses, motioning the guy over with one wing. "Nobody wants me because I don't have any feet. You can get me for $20.00; just make an offer."

The guy offers twenty dollars and walks out with the parrot. Weeks go by and the parrot is sensational. He's funny; he's interesting; he's a great pal, he understands everything, sympathizes, and gives good advice. The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work and the parrot says, "Pssst," and motions him over with one wing. The guy goes up close to the cage. "I don't know if I should tell you this or not," says the parrot, "but it's about your lover and the mailman."

"What?" asks the guy.

"Well," the parrot says, "when the mailman came to the door today, your lover greeted him in a pair of briefs that showed everything and kissed him on the mouth."

"What happened then?" asks the guy.
"Then the mailman came into the house and put his hand on your lovers crotch and began petting him all over," reports the parrot.

"My God!" the guy says. "Then what?"

"Then he pulled down the briefs, got down on his knees and began to lick him, starting with his chest, slowly going down and down." The parrot pauses for a long time...

"What happened? What happened?" says the frantic guy.

"That's what pisses me off. I don't know." said the parrott. "I got a hard-on, and fell off my fucking perch."

THE CHURCHES WILL CONDEMN THE GOVERNMENT FOR DUMSOR BUT THEY ARE MUTE ON THE FAGGOTS BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE CLOSET FAGGOTS.

Can't we use the platform provided by Ghanaweb to exchange constructive ideas for our individual enlightenment as well as for Ghana? It seems some serial writers have already composed posts mostly filled with insults, political untruths, ethnic bigotry and just post them irrespective of the issue at stake. I have blacklisted certain names whose postings I don't bother to read because they are known for this practice. Please let's agree to disagree in a civil and peaceful manner on Ghanaweb as well as elsewhere for we are all Ghanaians.

Someone came out that the vice prez was his partner. What did Ghanaians say abt that? Corruption, loot and share are also grave sins that needed more attention than gay. People are dying bcos they can not access medical care, have no good drinking water, studying under trees in this 21st century and yet millions can be dole out as judgement debts. These are the wickedness that needs to be tackled n not to worry abt the choice an individual makes to be gay or not.

Folks I had Master in a discipline where human right was one of the modules I studied. I now work with a reputable Human rights organization in the world. I would therefore wish to meet the guys who have been throwing dust to human beings that homosexuality is a human right issue. In fact it is not those people should ignore. Again I want Ghanaians to have it in their mind that USA is only one member out of the 35 states that form the American Convention on Human Rights.

Before you fall for the dangerous trap by the paid apostles of homosexuality, ponder over the following:
1. Over 85% of men who have sex with other men (MSM) are HIV positive.
2. About 4% of the US population are gays. But this group alone contributes to over 70% of new cases of HIV/AIDS annually. Do you seriously want to belong to such a group?
3. Majority of men who have sex with other men end up in several other complications aside of HIV/AIDS and sometimes resort to wearing diapers.
4. The devils are looking for a new market for their antiretroviral drugs like TRUVADA among others. With the prevalence rate of most African countries currently below 2%, only homosexuality can push the number up. This shameless agitation for acceptance of homosexuality has never and will never be in the interest of any African Country.
5. South Africa, one of the few countries in Africa to have legalised homosexuality is incidentally the country with the HIGHEST HIV/AIDS rate.
The creator of the universe, in his wisdom, created man and woman and made things so simple. He gave you a head with a brain. Use it! Becoming gay is akin to committing suicide in a rather abnormal and disgraceful way. Run away from homosexuality. Don't be deceived by the desperate attempts by Obama and his accomplice Cameron! They know they are under a curse for ignoring GOD, and the consequence of this curse is homosexuality. Romans 1:16-28 has made it clear.
