New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Assin South Constituency, Hon. Rev Ntim Fordjour has sent strong warnings to super powers particularly from Europe and the USA who are pressuring Ghana to accept LGBTQ.
Hon. Ntim Fordjour noted that most countries who support LGBTQ are bashing Ghana for passing anti LGBT bills. Others have described the bill as undemocratic, a step backward in modern civilization but he' s curious as to why nations like Russia, China and Saudi Arabia who are also strongly against the act have not been described as backwards. He stated that if they think it' s good, they should first tell Russia to accept and Ghana might consider.
" I' ve taken notice of some diplomats and LGBTQ activists who are describing our decision to protect the sanctity and dignity of our people and values through the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill as " backwards in civilization and prosperity" . Would these diplomats and activists dare say the same thing to Russia, China, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar? "
The NPP MP added that Ghana is a sovereign state and will never succumb to foreign pressures especially with matters of LGBTQ. " Are these countries backward in civilization and prosperity? Definitely NOT! You expect us to respect the obscene sexual perversion choices of individuals under #LGBTQ, yet you fail to respect the sovereign choice of the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians on the choice of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values. "
He concluded his warning by re- echoeing the fact that this was a unanimous decision made by Ghana' s parliament and it will stand. Nothing in his opinion will change despite the pressure. " This is our unanimous decision and that won' t change. We will continue to stand boldly to protect the dignity and sanctity of our people and our cherished values. "
