Did Achimota School endorse old student's gay wedding? - Counselor Lutterodt quizzes

The public gay wedding of an old Achimotan, Stephen Anertey Caesar, broke the internet last week as the issue was subject of discussion on social media.

The news of a Ghanaian and particularly an old student of one of the oldest schools in the country, Achimota Senior High, shocked many and arose the age old debate about legalizing same sex activities in Ghana.

Achimota’s loud silence in the ongoing discourse involving its old student’s public gay marriage and their failure to rebuke some old students for singing the school's anthem at the event has led outspoken Counselor, George Lutterodt wondering.

“I was even expecting the school to release a press statement by now. Is it an endorsement or what?” he quizzed explaining that “the school’s anthem that we know, everybody who is a student knows, that it's sung at all wedding ceremonies, even Odade3’s do it, but this one it happened at the wrong place” he said on Good Evening Ghana, Thursday.

Counselor Lutterodt who was appalled by the decision of friends of Stephen Anertey Caesar to grace the occasion remarked that “If you are having a party and I don’t know you and I don’t know what you are doing I won’t come. So if really the rest of the people who went to the party are normal and sensible, they will talk their friend out of it but because they are birds of the same feathers who can sing the anthem together and they are practising these things in common, then it’s easy for them to do it."

“It’s a shame to us”, he exclaimed suggesting that Achimota should have distanced themselves from the anthem that was sung at the gay wedding."

The former student of Achimota High School, Stephen Anertey got married to his old time male friend, Ryan Lathrum in a public gay marriage in the US.

The Achimota school anthem was sung by about 8 people believed to be his colleagues at the time he was a student in 1991.
