LGBTQI is a disease – Christian Council of Ghana
The Christian Council of Ghana has described the
act of LGBTQI as a disease such persons are
suffering from which demands immediate counsel and
appropriate cure.


Speaking on Akoma FM‘s morning show GhanAkoma,
the Chairman for the Council, Most Reverend Dr
Paul Kwabena Boafo, told host Aduanaba Kofi Asante
Ennin that “those indulging in such LGBTQI acts
are suffering from a ‘disease’ so they must
require immediate attention to heal them from
their bondage – both medically and
spiritually”.

Rebbuting some claims by some LGBTQI activists,
who have been demanding the regularisation of such
acts, which Ghana’s 1992 constitution frowns
upon, the Christian Council maintained that “we
the Christians are very resolute in our stance on
this matter but we believe that LGBTQI is a
disease and those activists must undergo certain
counseling and deliverance to salvage their
situation”.

The issue of LGBTQI has been very topical in
recent times as the group opened a resource centre
in Accra.

Several calls have been directed at President Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for immediate closure of
the office as the movement is considered alien to
the country’s culture, norms and laws.

However, an activist of the LGBTQI community,
speaking on anonimity on Akoma FM, admitted his
sexual orientation and pleaded with
Ghanaians to bestow on them the generic love
society has for all especially minority and
vulnerable groups.
