Rev. Lawrence Tetteh, known for founding the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, recently voiced his concerns regarding the transformation of his birthplace, Accra Jamestown, into what he perceives as a troublesome hub for homosexual activities.
During an interview on GTV's morning show, the religious leader, who hails from the predominantly Gas-inhabited community, expressed his dismay over the current state of Jamestown, characterizing it as a "mess."
Rev. Lawrence Tetteh highlighted the apparent openness of Jamestown residents towards endorsing and practicing various LGBTQ+ activities, emphasizing the negative consequences he believes it will have.
"I was born in Jamestown, and it is a privilege to be born in Jamestown. But in that community, when you go there now, it's a mess. Why should we impose LGBTQ+ on our children? Why do we want to destroy our nation?" he lamented during the interview.
He questioned the imposition of LGBTQ+ values on children and lamented the potential impact on the nation's moral fabric.
His comments come amidst ongoing international pressure for the acceptance of LGBTQ+ practices in Ghana. This debate has intensified following the passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, also known as the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, on February 28, 2024.
The international community has expressed disapproval of the bill and issued warnings about potential economic challenges if President Akufo-Addo signs it into law.
Rev. Lawrence Tetteh's remarks reflect growing concerns within Ghanaian society about the influence of LGBTQ+ activism and the perceived erosion of traditional values. Jamestown, once a vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage, has now become a focal point in the national conversation about LGBTQ+ rights and social values.
The debate surrounding LGBTQ+ rights in Ghana has sparked heated discussions across various sectors of society, including religious, political, and cultural spheres. Many Ghanaians, like Rev. Lawrence Tetteh, fear that the acceptance of LGBTQ+ practices will undermine the country's cultural identity and moral foundation.
As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Ghanaian government will address the issue of LGBTQ+ rights and the passage of the controversial bill. In the meantime, voices like Rev. Lawrence Tetteh's serve as a reminder of the deep-seated cultural values and beliefs that shape Ghanaian society.
