Take your gay rights advocacy to Saudi Arabia, Qatar- NPP MP to Akoto Ampaw & co
“Go to Saudi Arabia, Qatar or the Asian countries and ask them whether their customs are uncivilised or not? Which society is more modern than Dubai . . . what is not modern is homosexuality where a woman will sleep with a woman and a man with a man”, Deputy Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for Assin South Rev. John Ntim Fordjour told Akoto and ’18 Apostles’.
The Preacher cum Assin South Lawmaker Rev. Ntim Fordjour, has pooh-poohed the arguments of Lawyer Akoto Ampaw and his associates for asking Parliament to reject the LGBTQ+ Bill.
As indicated by the Deputy Education Minister, those researchers who are against the anti- LGBTQ+ Bill reserve each privilege to voice out their viewpoints to contradict the parts of the bill yet it ought not be joined with a portrayal to insult the MPs and the House that pre-arranged the bill.
Talking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ Morning Show, Hon. Ntim Fordjour said it is upsetting and a scratch on the picture of the Parliament for Lawyer Akoto Ampaw and his partners to insult the people who are behind the bill as though they are uninformed about their mandates as Parliamentarians.
He rebuked the ’18 Apostles’ being led by Akoto Ampaw who are against the counter LGBTQ+ Bill rather showing incivility for attempting to spread a conduct in opposition to the plan of God’s creation.
“What is more unrefined than a man needing to wed his kindred man? What is the delight in this? It is a vulgar demonstration and that is savage. What is unrefined is that a lady will get up to wed her kindred lady, and we have taught individuals too supporting this aborminable conduct,” he reprimanded.
He, in any case, exposed the idea that some intellectuals, professors and academics are against the counter LGBTQ+ Bill.
“There are a lot more educators who are against the thing the ’18 Apostles’ have said about the counter LGBTQ+ Bill. It is never the situation that when you are knowledgeable, certain things that are directly in the public arena become uncouth.”
He, along these lines, presumed that, “regardless of whether our traditions and customs are savage or contemporary, that is the thing that our kin need and clutch”.
“Go to Saudi Arabia, Qatar or the Asian nations and find out if their traditions are uncouth or not? Which society is more present day than Dubai . . . what isn’t current is homosexuality where a lady will lay down with a lady and a man with a man,” he poked.
Meanwhile, former Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour Relations Baba Jamal has described the 18 intellectuals defending gay rights as the present day Pharasees who opposed Jesus.
