Anti-gay campaigner and senior law lecturer at the Ghana School of Law, Moses Foh-Amoaning has called on the NPP led-government to respond Britain’s proposal to support Ghana to legalise homosexuality.
His comment comes after pronouncements by British Prime Minister, Theresa May while addressing the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in London that the British government is ready to support any Commonwealth country that wants to rewrite their laws to accommodate gays.
According to the Theresa May, "nobody should face discrimination or persecution because of who they are or who they love".
However, Anti-gay campaigner Foh-Amoaning in a sharp rebuttal to the comment to the words of Theresa May said the United Kingdom should also legalise polygamy if they believe criminalizing homosexuality is discriminatory.
Speaking in an interview with Accra based Class FM, Foh-Amoaning appealed to the NPP-government to reject this proposal as it only seeks to push what the “UK’s degenerate moral values†down the throat of Ghanaians.
He said: “Sorry Mrs May, you don’t like polygamy, you have criminalised that in your country, you don’t say that is discriminatory but when we criminalise what you don’t like then you say it is inequality. There’s no scientific basis to it and it is representative of their degenerate moral values. Thankfully, the president himself said he doesn’t think there is sufficient coalition of Ghanaian opinion to support the behaviour.
“I think the height of Prof Mills’ presidency is when he responded forcefully to the former UK Prime Minister when he spoke in the same vein that Theresa May is speaking. Now I’m hoping that our president who is charismatic and effective in his delivery will also respond to Africa.â€
