3% of Ghanaians are homos - activist claims


  1. Three percent of Ghana’s population are homosexuals. This was disclosed by a self-styled Human Rights Advocate for Homosexuals, Nana Kweku Sarpong.

    Speaking on one of Ghana\s fm stattions, Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Friday, Nana Kweku Sarpong poured out his frustrations on how homosexuals in Ghana are treated.

    He argued that everyone in Ghana is entitled to his or her freedom, but expressed worry over the manner in which people who are into same sex relationship are shun by the society.

    Though Nana Kweku Sarpong would not tell whether he is a homosexual or not, he defended gays in the country, saying they should be left alone to do their own thing.

    He claimed he had a pregnant wife and does not mind having anal sex with her, maintaining that many married men have anal sex with their wives.

    Nana Kweku Sarpong who claimed he was born on 1st January 1987 added, men with feminine features often choose women as their sex partners, because inwardly these men feel they are women, so it is not strange for men to take men as their sex partners.

    However, a legal practitioner, Barfour Awuah admitted that Ghana is a free society, but noted the mere fact that one has the zeal to do something does not make it right, unless it goes with the norms of the Ghanaian society.

    Lawyer Barfuor Awuah therefore advised that any passage of a law against homosexuality should be done through referendum before parliamentary ratification.
