We, A4CG, take note of the recent outdooring in Accra of the office of LGBT+ Rights Ghana on 31st January 2021, and the subsequent release of a press statement by the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values on 11th February 2021.
Whereas the former group, by its event, sought to provide a rallying point for garnering and entrenching open support and normalization of homosexuality in Ghana, the latter, by its statement, seeks to counter such efforts by rightly proclaiming that there is nothing humane about blurring the lines in human sexuality nor in redefining same, while pointing out the position of the laws of Ghana on homosexuality.
Following the release of the statement by the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, LBGT+ Rights and its allies have proceeded to unleash unwarranted personal attacks on Mr. Moses Foh Amoaning, the General Secretary of the Coalition, an act we unreservedly condemn. We consider that singling out Mr. Foh Amoaning for such attacks only serves the disingenuous purpose of shifting focus from the unacceptability of homosexuality to the Ghanaian people to making a homophobic character out of a person who is part of a group of eminent Ghanaians committed to preserving what is right, and what is acceptable to the Ghanaian.
