What is wrong is wrong

Flag of Ghana Flag of Ghana

Ghana is a nation with a unique culture and a strong cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. Our traditions and customs are deeply ingrained in our society and have shaped who we are as Ghanaians.

One of the fundamental aspects of our culture is the belief in the spirits of our ancestors, who are believed to still linger around and protect us. It is believed that if we defile the land with activities such as same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, and gays, the land will be cursed, and we will see negative consequences shortly.

As Ghanaians, we must uphold our cultural values and traditions and resist the pressure to accept or engage in practices that go against our beliefs. Same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, and gay are not part of our cultural heritage and are viewed as taboo in our society. These acts are seen as a violation of our cultural norms and traditions and are not to be tolerated.

Furthermore, Ghana is a Christian community, with Christianity being the dominant religion in the country. The Christian faith condemns homosexuality, lesbianism, same-sex marriage, and all forms of the LGBTQI community. The Holy Bible speaks against these practices and labels them as sinful. As a Christian nation, we must abide by the teachings of our faith and reject any form of behaviour that goes against the teachings of the Bible.

Our politicians and lawmakers need to take a firm stand against same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, and gays within our jurisdiction. We must not compromise our values and beliefs for the sake of financial gain or political correctness. What is wrong is wrong, and we must have the courage to say no to practices that are contrary to our cultural and religious beliefs.

The consequences of engaging in same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, and gay may not be immediately apparent, but we will see the negative impact in the future. By defying our cultural values and embracing practices that are foreign to us, we are opening ourselves up to the possibility of incurring the wrath of our ancestors and bringing curses upon our land.

We must think about the future and consider the long-term implications of our actions. It is not worth sacrificing our cultural integrity and moral values for temporary gains. We must stand firm in our convictions and uphold the principles that have been passed down to us by our ancestors.

In conclusion, Ghana has a unique culture with a strong cultural heritage that must be preserved and protected. We must reject any form of behaviour that goes against our cultural and religious beliefs, including same-sex marriage, homosexuality, lesbianism, and gay.

Our politicians and lawmakers must have the courage to say no to practices that are not in line with our values and traditions. Let us uphold our cultural integrity and honour the legacy of our ancestors by adhering to the principles that have defined us as Ghanaians.
