Freddy Blay, the National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has thrown cold water on the anti-LGBTQ+ law that has been tabled to parliament and is pending endorsement.
He believes that homosexuals are human beings, regardless of their sexual orientation, and that they deserve the same respect as any other human being. The statement was made when he was working at Accra’s Asaase Radio studios.
He said that although he does not condone homosexuality, he is unable to comprehend the commotion that has erupted in Ghana over the issue.
He said;
“I don’t believe in homosexuality. It’s a decision. They don’t entice me since I’m not drawn to them. But I’m not interested in going into other people’s bedrooms.
“I’m not interested in seeing what they’re up to. I believe that if people want to be gay, it should be their own concern. I will not become a persecutor of those who wish to live together as man and woman. There’s a lot of hypocrisy in it, in my opinion.
“And we’ve been ecstatic about it, our emotions have been ecstatic about it to the point that we’re not sober about it. I honestly have no idea what all the fuss is about. He stated, “We should allow them.”
