Muntaka Mubarak, a member of parliament from Asawase, has called homosexuality a thing of madness.
When homosexuals want to adopt other people's children as their own, he claims it even gets irksome.
"The sad thing is that you see two people who decide to be lesbians or homosexuals trying to adopt children. Who should go and give birth for you to come and adopt? look at this madness.
"If having children is good, why are you into that nasty act?" he said during the parliamentary debate on the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee report on the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill popularly known as the anti-gay bill, on Wednesday, July 5.
Speaking on the same issue of LGBTQ, Dan Botwe, a member of parliament representing Okere, indicated that in addition to enacting the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, also known as the anti-gay bill in Ghana, it will be necessary to discover strategies to combat the spread of the homosexual lifestyle.
"Beyond passing the bill, let us exercise internal vigilance," he said during the parliamentary debate on the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee report on the bill on Wednesday, July 5.
Mr. Dan Botwe went on to say that there may come a time when young people may shop for products that have homosexual symbols painted on them. To that aim, he stated that aside from the bill's approval, vigilance is needed on the part of all parties involved to stop the spread of homosexuality.
He further described homosexuality as "total madness" and "a satanic force."
"Let us not underestimate this satanic force," he stressed.
The report emphasized the issues brought up by both supporters and opponents of the law.
According to the report, those who are opposed to the bill claim that "LGBTQ+ activities form part of what the Constitution contemplates under Article 33 (5) about recognition of certain rights and freedoms that are considered to be inherent in a democracy and which is intended to secure the rights, freedoms, and dignity of the people.
"Consequently, any attempt to prescribe different treatment to different people on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender will be discriminatory and an affront to Article (17) 1 and (2) of the Constitution."
