Yes. Africa has no room for gayism. Let us be. The creator, God of our ancestors, made us and our culture different. When we smile, we do so from the heart. We smile for real. When we reject gayism, we mean it for real.

Gayism to the US is just as polygamy is to Africa. They should keep their gayism and we will also keep our polygamy.

You're kidding if you really think that Ghanaian culture is great. Since you want to bring the supernatural into this debate, what are your creator and ancestors doing to alleviate the deplorable conditions we live in? The rest of the developed world is finding solutions to their economic problems while African continent is hell bent on treating homosexuals with less dignity. 'Contemporarise' man!!

silly primitive savages-you will stop persecuting gays or we will starve you. Remember, a white man forced Christianity on you and you accepted it. This is REAL-not fairy tales like god. Either obey or starve-your choice

Agreed. These 'people' are 200 years behind the West, even with all the faults the West still possesses. Let them rape and hack each other to pieces for all I care. You can show people the way to open the door but you shouldn't turn the handle for them. We ought barricade Suez and ringfence the whole continent. It's a rotten cesspool of ignorant dark-age mentality.

You really think that advocating for the recognition of the dignity of all humans amounts to a blunder. You expect Obama to support a continent that puts homosexuals in a convenient box, dehumanise and strip them of their humanity. Hypocrisy. Quick to take foreign aid but criticise them for promoting equality among all individuals.

Hd blundered because more than 98% of the African people are not in agreement with him and feel offended. Note Africa is like 200 years behind the west so cast your mind back and you will understand the author

New tricks or treats here in Africa. Gay are better off leaving this placd because if even any government in Africa dares sanction gay rights it will meaningless because the people are just homophobic. And it's getting worse as they sense other leaders outside pushing the gays rights by putting pressure on our leaders. It's best to let AFRICA be else humans lives will be wasted unnecessarily

Not condoning homosexuality doesn't mean Africans are homophobic or primitive. Gays are becoming more annoying and using every bullying tactics towards anybody who refuse to condone to their lifestyle.

Mimi just be a truth-teller and admit that the vast majority of Ghanaians are Homophobic. The derogatory remarks made about gays reflect our negative attitudes towards homosexuality. Just out of curiosity, what are some of the bullying tactics being used by gays? As someone who knows what it means to be judged and treated unfairly because of my skin colour and nationality, I consider it crucial to defend the inherent dignity of folks - be they heterosexuals, homosexuals, male or female, stranger or comrade.

"As someone who knows what it means to be judged and treated unfairly because of my skin colour and nationality..." It's for none of the above reasons; You are judged and treated unfairly because of your homosexuality. You can't even own up for yourself and you expect to force it on us. Be a man and speak the truth.....Or you are usually the woman?

Kwesi you must be a miserable person. You think being a bigot and Homophobe are badges to wear with pride. Let me reiterate my point which seems to touch a nerve. Our so-called sacred Ghanaian culture is anti-developmental. If you don't know what this means I'm afraid I can't help you.

You certainly can't help me because you are totally confused. You just called me Kwesi when you can read Kweku. That's self explanatory.

Aid in Africa is 5% of total African tax revenue according to The Economist. All it does is to ruin local farmers and factories by funding imports. It should instead be spent on the homeless in "rich" countries.
