It means he’ll steal when he arrives. The problem with these sick people is that they have zero morals. Day or night, rain or shine, man or woman, grownup or child, eher human or animal, alive or in the mortuary they can’t stop their abusive, evil urge. Teacher or doctor, illiterate or educated, priest or sports coach, they’ll go after anus.

Ignatius, I can tell that you are very sincere in your utterances and convictions on being gay, however, one can be very sincere and yet still wrong. "The bible says that there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end ...

Ignatius, I can tell that you are very sincere in your utterances and convictions on being gay, however, one can be very sincere and yet still wrong. "The bible says that there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is the way of death." I don't want you to be lost in eternity forever,...you see eternty is forever, and it would be very unwise of you to make an eternal mistake. Please ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sins, just as He did for me, and ask Him to be your Lord and God, and start reading the bible from the book of Mark, and find a good church like an assemblies of God church. May the Lord help you and save your soul from the eternal flames of hell's fire!!!

Foolish boy. The Old Testament recommends STONING to death of trumu trumu idiots like you. You're a candidate for hell fire except you repent. Instead of working with your hands so God will bless you, you are rather working with your ANUS. You are cursed.

This is utter nonsense from an attention seeker? You could kill yourself if you so wishes .... The people of Ghana has spoken on what is right for our society. Go and let you gay community keep you calm, but no us

Please do not exaggerate. Who said you can not visit your family? Haven't you visited Ghana in the last 5 years? You are at liberty to come to Ghana any time you so wish. Do not blow things out of proportion

Kwasia kwa who says gay people can't come to Ghana... What the law says is don't practice that act in Ghana. Same as Arab countries don't drink alcohol in their countries but you can drink alcohol else where.

Please read the content of the law carefully. If you read through the law you wi;ll discover that you have been given a choice. The law did not advocate for arrest and prosecute; it bans advocacy and other forms of agitation. Since you are gay do not talk or preach to other people about it. It is your little demon in your pocket you have to fight all the time.
I also believe you are afraid of your family. TThey think you just wasted the clan resources with nothing to offer in return. You have not replaced yourself. So your family see you differently.

Look I live in the US, Gays and other queer people are not fully recognized in family circles. They just do not care about them.

This whole thing is about a clash of cultural values. The western world have always claim supremacy in thought and way of living, holding the view that their perception of thing’s is always the best way.
The African also hold his view, however, his is deem inferior and not acceptable by the west. This permeate every aspect of our lives.
Today, we have ourselves to blame for what the western world is serving us. We can’t marry two women under an ordinance but can claim to marry someone who shares the same sex with us.
When the west threatens aid, can we also do same by not sending our raw materials? Like we go die la. The African doesn’t have the will of his own, in the midst of all that he’s endowed with, he’s still poor and begs for financial assistance from the very people who buy from him.

Kennedy Agyapong practices polygamy but does he travel to Europe or America to promote or practice it where it is considered criminal?

The bill stated clearly nobody can practice it and they didn't say if you're gay, they should beat you or imprisoned them
