Several
critics have condemned homosexuals and warned their leaders not to
embrace the act which they deem despicable and a canker to the
development of their nations.
But the topic on homosexuality has
become even more intricate especially with some powerful world forces
calling on developing countries to legalize the rights of gays and
lesbians or face a penalty.
These world forces have threatened to withdraw their aids to the nations which disdain the act.
As
if to add salt to injury, Pope Francis also called on the Roman
Catholic Church not to judge homosexuals because to him, "if a person is
gay and seeks God and has good will,” then who is he to judge.
These
developments have revitalized discussions on the controversy that
characterized the act and it is in respect of this that a Sociology
Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Sampson Appiah, speaking in an
interview with Radio Gold on Tuesday called on Ghanaians to nip the act
in the bud not by violent means.
Though he condemned the calls
for homosexuality to be legalized in Ghana and Africa at large, the
Sociologist urged Ghanaians not to mistreat homosexuals in the nation.
He
also bemoaned the failure by the society to enforce positive values in
homosexuals in order to transform their eccentric sexual orientation and
therefore stressed the need for massive changes to be made in the moral
fabric of the nation.
“We need to stand by our moral, our
traditional and our customary norms that as Africans and Ghanaians, we
don’t accept gayism.” he advised.
