Lecturer with the Central University, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah
has attacked the behavior of homosexuals while likening their mode of thinking
and characteristics as human beings to animals.
“It is sad, sickening and
worrisome that a man will prefer having anal sex. At my current age,
I have never seen a male goat having sex with another male goat neither
have I also never witness a goat chasing a sheep for sex”, he fumed on
Accra-based Peace FM.
There is growing pressure on
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to come out and declare the position of
his government on the highly polarized issue of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual,
Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) activities in Ghana
According to Dr. Benjamin
Otchere-Ankrah, some people became lesbians, gays, bisexuals,
transgenders among others following peer pressure while they were in school.
The LGBT group organised a
fundraiser which was attended by several diplomats including the Australian
High Commissioner who pledged to support the group.
But Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah
believes that other factors including poverty is the reason some persons were
initiated into homosexuality
“Poverty, lack of parental
control and influence of friends are also contributing to homosexuality in
Ghana. I am a lecturer and I am telling you this for a fact”, he told host,
Nana Yaw Kesse during panel discussion.
