Africa-Press – Ghana. Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, the Chairman, Governing Council, National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, has cautioned the youth, especially adolescents not to copy blindly the conduct of lesbians, gays, or transgenders on social media.
He said that could be highly deceptive and destructive, adding: “If you follow them, you will actually regret in future. And sometimes the decision you may take is irreversible. You may have to be on drugs forever. When you regret, it might even become very difficult to come back,” he said.
He gave the caution in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
Apostle Onyinah said it was unfortunate that public display of the conduct of LGBTQIs was encouraging younger generations to try such orientations, adding: “And it doesn’t help. Sometimes people are being coerced into it. They are deceived to do such things.
“And once people begin to do that, others would like to copy. And even that may not be real. Especially, what is dangerous about this is about children. Sometimes they hear about these things, it sticks to their mind, and they begin to do something, and later they change into these attitudes,” he said.
The Chairman said the manipulative nature of the attitude was what had pushed many countries to ban it completely to safeguard younger ones.
“And a child can easily be deceived to take a decision which is not her own or his own. So I think, yeah, very, very irreversible. So it’s something that we don’t need to encourage.
“And that is why the coalition doesn’t want us to promote it and for people coming from outside to come and compare or promote this LGBTQ+ agenda,” he added.
Mr Moses Foh Amoaning, the Executive Secretary, of the Coalition, called on all churches and believers to pray against the new trend which was consuming a section of the youth to deviate from the traditional gender norms.
He said it was getting more serious as some public universities in the country were changing their status to accept or recognise other transgenders apart from males and females, and it was only prayers and political will that could save the nation.
