Homosexuals need love – Gospel musicians Ohemaa Mercy
One of Ghana’s most successful Gospel musicians, Mercy Twum-Ampofo
known in the showbiz circles as Ohemaa Mercy has said those practicing
homosexuality need to be shown love.
According to her, that is the only ideal mechanism to getting them to abandon the sadistic act, which she said is spiritual.
“It takes God for one to be delivered from homosexuality,” she stated on Starr Chat Wednesday with Bola Ray.
“We need to bring those in homosexuality closer to us and talk them out,” she added.
The gospel musician’s comments come in the wake of growing pressure
on the Akufo-Addo government by various world leaders including the
United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May for the country to soften its
stance on homosexuality.
May told President Akufo-Addo and other African leaders attending the
Commonwealth heads of government meeting in London recently that it is
wrong for homosexuals to be persecuted for their sexual orientation,
compelling the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and
Family Values to declare that it will oppose any attempt at legalizing
homosexuality in Ghana following pressure on the West African country by
Western governments.
Also speaking at the 43rd General Council Meeting on May
2, the former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor
Opoku Onyinah warned government that any attempt to legalise
homosexuality in the country will be met with fierce resistance.
“The call to legalise homosexuality, LGBT, by some leaders of the
Western world must be seen as neo-colonialism and must be condemned at
the highest level. We do not accept this as an aspect of civilisation.
“Africans must see ourselves as people who are matured and know what
is good for us and our people. The church in Ghana will continue to
reject and oppose this and we are prepared to demonstrate against this
if pressure continues to mount on our leaders,” he added.
