Legalizing LGBT will dehumanize Ghana’s social well-being – SDA Church
The Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church in Ghana
has joined calls by institutions and persons
opposed to the activities of Lesbians, Gays,
Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex
(LGBTQIs) in Ghana.

The church has thus called on Ghana’s Parliament
to pass laws that will prohibit all forms of
LGBTQIs.

The SDA church believes the act if accepted will
dehumanize the social well-being of Ghanaians and
therefore wants all the citizenry to rise to stop
its introduction into the society.

Addressing journalists in Kumasi to state the
church’s position on the matter, President of
Northern Ghana Union Mission of the Seventh Day
Adventist Church, Dr. Kwame Kwanin Boakye said
there must be a concerted effort to fight
activities of LGBTQIs in the country.



He said the government’s stance on the subject
has brought some form of relief to traditional and
religious leaders in the country who have vowed
not to tolerate such activities in Ghana.

“On behalf of the Seventh Day Adventist in Ghana
and myself, we want to commend and express our
sincere thank you to the president of the
Republic, President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo
and the Government, for reaffirming that ‘Ghana
will never and cannot go gay’. All other
religious organizations and Nananom are
exhilarated to hear that homosexuals and lesbians
are not part of Ghana and cannot be part of its
citizens,” he stated.

There is growing opposition to the activities of
LGBTIs after police raided and closed down their
offices in the Greater Accra Region.

Dr. Kwanin Boakye added that the Bible prohibits
the act and the Church will also continue to
oppose homosexual practices and their
relationships.

The church has pledged its support to the
government and other stakeholders to fight
activities of homosexuals.
