EU cannot force Ghana to tolerate LGBT rights
Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for
Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values,
Moses Foh-Amoaning has taken the European Union
(EU) in Ghana to the cleaners for asking Ghanaians
to respect and tolerate Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals,
Transgenders and other Queer (LBGTQ) individuals
in the country.

He said the EU should not impose their so-called
values and beliefs on Ghanaians who are against
homosexuality.

He was reacting to a post issued by the EU’s
office in Ghana for the rights of the LGBT
community to be respected and tolerated.

Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning, recently waged a
crusade for the shut down of a new office space
for the LGBT movement in Ghana.

The Executive Secretary of the Coalition has
admonished the police to shut down their
activities.

“The presidency, the ministry of foreign
Affairs, and the IGP have every right to
investigate that office to close it down
immediately and arrest and prosecute those people
involved in it,” he said.

“It never talks about the standard physiology
which is normally used for LGBT rights, that is a
sexual orientation, we don’t have it in our
constitution.”

He added: “We will put the appropriate petitions
before Parliament for the immediate passage of a
comprehensive legislation and then we will
prohibit their motion.”

In a short post on their official Facebook page,
the Union said the respect and tolerance for each
other forms part of their core values and that
they will continue to support organizations
promoting the rights of the LGBT community.

“A couple of weeks ago the EU in Ghana
participated in the opening of the new community
space of the @LGBTRightsGhana."

"Equality, tolerance and respect for each other
are core values of the EU. The EU supports civil
society organisations promoting #LGBTIQ
rights.”

But Lawyer Foh-Amoaning says these group of
individuals would be fished out and exposed.

He said the laws, values and cultural beliefs in
Ghana do not allow for such practices.

"This will never happen. The current generation of
Africans is wiser and shaper. The practice of
homosexuality is deadly, and the potential to
spread sexually transmitted infections. The EU
cannot force Ghanaians to tolerate
homosexuals.”

In Ghana, we will not kill or harm you if you are
gay or lesbian, but we will not also allow you to
operate and demand your rights.

Some people are now seeking help and we will
continue to support them, he added.
