3 per cent of Ghanaians are homosexuals- Gay activist
A self-styled human rights advocate for homosexuals, Nana Kweku Sarpong, has disclosed that three percent of Ghana’s population is homosexuals.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Friday, Nana Kweku Sarpong poured out his frustrations on how homosexuals in Ghana are treated.
He argued that everyone in Ghana is entitled to his or her freedom, but expressed worry over the manner in which people who are into same sex relationship are shunned by the society.
Though Nana Kweku Sarpong would not tell whether he is a homosexual or not, he defended gays in the country, saying they should be left alone to do their own thing.
He claimed he had a pregnant wife and does not mind having anal sex with her, maintaining that many married men have anal sex with their wives.
Nana Kweku Sarpong who claimed he was born on 1st January 1987 explained that men with feminine features often choose women as their sex partners, because inwardly these men feel they are women, so it is not strange for men to take men as their sex partners.
However, a legal practitioner, Barfour Awuah, while admitting that Ghana is a free society, noted that the mere fact that one has the desire to do something does not make it right, unless it goes with the norms of the Ghanaian society.
Lawyer Barfuor Awuah, therefore, advised that any passage of a law against homosexuality should be done through a referendum before parliamentary ratification.
