    IF A MOTHER AND SON LOVE EACH OTHER CAN SOCIETY ALLOW THEM TO MARRY? THEY ARE TWO ADULTS WHO LOVE EACH OTHER, SO SHOULD SOCIETY ALLOW THEM TO MARRY? IF IT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE THEN SOCIETY HAS NO SAY IN WHAT THEY DO.

    This space is for intellectuals, not illiterates like you who are also racists, etthnocentrists and jihadists shouting mantras in order to organize genocide and acts of terrorism.

    Go away and play with your bigots sir.

    A very ignorant attorney on spiritual matters.

    THE FAMILY IS THE FOUNDATION OF ANY SOCIETY, SO MARRIAGE IS INTEGRAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF A SOCIETY. GAY MARRIAGE NEEDS DISCUSSION AND ATTENTION BY THE POOR PEOPLE OF MOTHER GHANA.

    And who told you that our way of life is to force our notions of righteousness on others?

    When have we collectively determined anywhere that men and men or women and women cannot have sex? And how did we do that?

    1. Our republic has not defined marriage as being between man and a woman. And our notion of what is right and wrong is prescribed in our laws, not in your head!

    This is a good write up.
