THEY SAY GAY MARRIAGE IS ABOUT LOVE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVE. THEY SAY WHAT GAY PEOPLE DO IN THEIR BEDROOM IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS. THEY SAY IT IS WRONG TO CRIMINALIZE ADULTS LOVING EACH OTHER. DO THEY (THE WEST) PRACTICE WHAT THE PREACH? OR IS THIS JUST HYPOCRISY AND RACISM.

WE SHOULD ALSO CONFRONT THE HYPOCRISY OF THE USA AND EUROPE. WHY ARE THEY AGAINST POLYGAMY? WHY DO THEY PUT POLYGAMISTS IN JAIL? WHAT A MAN AND HIS THREE WIVES DO IN THEIR BEDROOM SHOULD BE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. IS POLYGAMY NOT ABOUT LOVE?

IF TWO ADULT WOMEN AGREE TO MARRY A MAN, WHY SHOULD THAT BE A CRIME? IF THREE PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVE.

THIS IS THE HYPOCRISY OF THE WEST. THEY ACCUSE AFRICANS OF BEING HOMOPHOBIC AND DONT SEE THEIR OWN PREJUDICE AGAINST POLYGAMISTS, WHICH IS JUST AS DISCRIMINATORY AS HOMOPHOBIA.

WHEN AFRICANS DO IT, IT IS CONDEMNED BUT WHEN THEY DO IT, IT IS OK. WHY SHOULD THEY BE THE JUDGE OF WHAT IS MORAL FOR AFRICANS.

BELIEVE YOU ME, IF THE WEST ACCEPTS POLYGAMY, THEY WOULD BE FORCING EVERYBODY ELSE TO ACCEPT IT. WHEN THEY CRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA, WE HAD TO DO THE SAME. WATCH AS THEY DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA AND START TO MAKE MONEY ON IT, ARE ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO FOLLOW SUIT. AND IF WE DONT HEY WOULD CALL US BARBARIC AND UNCIVILIZED AND ALL KINDS OF NAMES.

IT IS WRONG FOR ANYBODY TO ATTACK GAY PEOPLE. BUT THE HOLLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDE OF THE WEST MUST STOP.

IF THE WEST CAN LEGALIZE AND DECRIMINALIZE POLYGAMY?

In the west a man can live with three women as his "wives" and the western governments do not interfere with the relationship.
For example, Fundamentalist Mormons in the US and Kurdish Moslems in Germany openly practice polygamy. They can even get married in public religious ceremonies without any opposition from the government. It is when they walk into a government building and apply for a marriage license and all the tax benefits that come with it, does it become the government's business.

There are documentaries of openly polygamist western families on YouTube.

OTHER EXAMPLES
CANADA hasn't successfully prosecuted for polygamy in over 60 years.
Many US states don't prosecute polygamist unless the union is formalized or other crimes are committed(ex. an underaged "wife').
AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND recognize polygamous marriages performed abroad.
FINLAND recognizes polygamous marriages performed abroad in special cases(ex. child custody).
SWEDEN recognizes polygamous marriages performed abroad. Up to four wives can be registered but only the first would be considered in term of social benefits.
FRANCE doesn't prosecute unless the marriage is formalized.
SWITZERLAND recognizes polygamous relationships performed abroad on a case by case basis.
THE UNITED KINGDOM recognizes foreign polygamous relationships and all spouses are considered in relation to welfare benefits but not universal credit.
THE NETHERLANDS allows two or more people to enter a cohabitation contract(Samenlevingscontract).
etc...

MORMONS ARE PUT IN JAIL IN THE USA. BIGAMY IS A CRIME IN THE USA AND MOST WESTERN COUNTRIES. GAY MARRIAGE IS FORMALIZED IN COURT, WHY NOT POLYGAMISTS?

A MARRIAGE IN THE WEST THAT IS NOT FORMALIZED WITH A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IS NO MARRIAGE AT ALL.

AS AN AFRICAN IN THE WEST, THE FIRST QUESTION WESTERNERS ASKED ME DISRESPECFULLY IS " OH, HOW MANY WIVES DO U HAVE, I HEAR AFRICAN MWN HAVE MULTIPLE WIVES."YOU CAN HEAR THE SARCASM IN THEIR VOICE.

YES, POLYGAMISTS IN THE USA AND WESTERN EUROPE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MARRY FORMALLY, BUT GAY PEOPLE ARE. IT IS HYPOCRISY AND IT IS WRONG.

AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND recognize polygamous marriages performed abroad.

WHY DONT THEY ALLOW IT IN THEIR COUNTRIES ON THEIR LAND? IT IS ABOUT LOVE JUST LIKE GAY MARRIAGE. IT IS ABOUT WHAT THREE PEOPLE DO IN THEIR BEDROOM. THIS IS HYPOCRISY. THEY CAN ACCUSE US OF NOT ALLOWING GAY MARRIAGE, BUT THEY DONT ALLOW POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE IN THEIR COURTS.

IT IS THE USUAL WESTERN SUPERIORITY COMPLEX AND DISRESPECT OF AFRICANS.

IF AFRICANS ALLOWED GAY MARRIAGE AND DID NOT ALLOW POLYGAMY, WHILE EUROPEANS ALLOWED POLYGAMY AND DID NOT ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE. WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM , THEY WOULD BE FORCING THEIR MORAL VALUES ON US, AND LOOKING DOWN ON US.

THIS NOTHING BUT HYPOCRISY AND CULTURAL DOMINATION.

The fact that you said that polygamy is CULTURAL negates the born that way statement (you can't be "born that way" culturally). Culture is learned not biological.

Don't attempt to argue this, you are wrong.

We are BORN into our cultures and traditions!!!! If your dad has 2 wives and you are born into that polygamous family you are BORN that way, and likely you will do things, like marry traditionally, that way.

If you decide to have 2 or more wives or husbands that is your choice and that may have something to do with what you learned from your father and mothers but it is not biological(like gay people who are born that way).

It is your line of logic that will make a pedophile to say, "I want little girls, I am born that way".

BACK to to the real issue here: Polygamists in Africa. Will the west also accept it if an African marries more women in Europe?

I am going to address you point-by-point:

1) You can look at the fact that homosexuality has been exhibited in at least 1500 animal species (Including human) and realize that it is naturally occurring in nature. There is no choosing in nature, you are what you are.

2) It doesn't matter if "a pedophile" says "'I am born that way'"; "little girls" are not consenting adults(there is literally nothing to discuss here).
I know you are smart enough to tell the difference between a relationship among consenting adults and a relationship forced by an adult on a child, so stop acting stupid-you are better than that.

3) This is not an issue that the west is forcing you to accept. There are gay people in Ghana and Africa in general. They are the ones fighting for their rights.
3.1) Polygamy is not the real issue here we are talking about gay rights here. If you want to talk about polygamy start your own movement but don't try to piggyback of this.

4) I am not gay, I believe in equality: religious equality, racial equality, gender equality, economic equality. I don't have to be gay, or Muslim/Christian/Traditionalist, or white, or a woman, or poor to speak up against inequality against the other.

When did it become a human right for a man to marry a man or vice versa? Is it within the framework of the UN "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" or the "Atlantic Charter"? Also why is incest a crime?. If 30 yr old Kofi and his 28 year old sister decides to marry because they love each other,why does society forbids it? Suppose the man gets voluntary castration thereby avoiding any off spring and genetic related diseases, will the hypocritical "West" and yourself accept it as their "human right" because they love each other?

THE WEST IS JUST TRYING TO PUSH AFRICANS AROUND. YES, IT IS HYPOCRISY. THEY DONT PUSH THIS AGENDA IN SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES WHO ARE THEIR ALLIES.

IT IS JUST THE DISRESPECT OF AFRICANS AND THEIR VALUES. AFRICANS ARE NOT PUSHING FOR THE WEST TO ACCEPT POLYGAMY, EVEN THOUGH THE CRIMINALISATION OF POLYGAMY IN THE WEST MAKES NO SENSE.

THE WEST GETS TO CHOSE WHAT VALUES ARE VALID FOR THEM, BUT THEY WANT TO CHOOSE FOR AFRICANS. THIS IS NOTHING BUT HYPOCRISY AND A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX BASED ON DISRESPECT AND RACISM..

The behaviour of some of the Scottish MPs, and the embarrassment President John Mahama faced in the Scottish Parliament is all part of the ruthless campaign by the gay rights lobby to promote homosexuality and impose their gay rights agenda in Ghana. Ghana needs to wake up to the seemingly all-powerful gay rights lobby, internationally and clearly within Ghana.

Different cultures and countries of the world have their cultural values, beliefs, traditional institutions and moral values which are considered forbidden, illegal, cultural taboos or reviled elsewhere.

People refuse to marry and if the do the refuse to have children or if they have only one. S this argument about homosexuality being non procreative is a moot point. We should stop using it. We insist on reducing the number of children to control our population so isn't it welcome that some people have volunteered not to have children.We are just attacking the western people unfairly. Homosexuality is part of us and our cculture which we don't openly talk about. We have had 'Kwesi besia' all the time.

Sydney you are so wrong. Let me explain why. The scientific experts have proven that same gender attraction is to be found widely in the animal kingdom and has existed ever since homo sapiens walked across the plains of Africa 250 thousand years ago. The evidence is on the wall paintings. In Jesus time the Greeks ruled Palestine. Same sex marriage was common, even the emperor Cisero. The great philosophers like Plato and some army units comprised only men with their lovers.

Jesus was unmarried, had 12 male disciples and was especially close to John. A passage in Mark's gospel was removed by those compiling the First New Testament because it narrated Jesus spending the night with a naked man. Jesus had sexual feelings like most people do.
Archbishop Tutu said that he would rather go to the other place than a homophobic heaven.
Ghana should follow the example of African countries that have removed carnal knowledge as a crime. The law change will remove the abuse of this law by corrupt individuals to extort money from gay citizens. This threat is mentioned in many travel advisories to Ghana. Oppressive and abusive laws have a negative impact on Ghana's international reputation and deters investment and tourism to Ghana. Your religious views should not be imposed on everyone in Ghana. That is the path to desolation and extremism. Islamic State followers hate party goers and shoot beach goers. The hate western education and burn schools. Christian fundamentalists may not be so extreme. But your prejudice does encourage mob violence and for that you will find that the devil is a homophobe just like you. An old slave song said it all. It ain't necessarily so, the things that you're libel to read in the bible, they anin't necessarily so.
