YOU ARE AN “ANIMAL” IF YOU PRACTICE GAY- BERNARD ALLOTEY JACOBS FUMES.
Social commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has expressed anger over the LGBTQ+ community fighting for the
legalization of their activities in Ghana.
There is currently anti-LGBTQ+ bill proposed by Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George, before Parliament to outlaw
homosexual activities and ensure any person who publicly identifies himself or herself as a member of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) faces a jail sentence or fine.
But an elite group has stood against the passage of the bill arguing it is a violation of fundamental human rights,
hence incurring the wrath of many Ghanaians.
Their position has been interpreted by some Ghanaians as either they promoting homosexual practices or are
members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Contributing to a panel discussion on ”Kokrokoo” morning show, Bernard Allotey Jacobs, being against gay
activities,
likened them to animals.
”You are an animal If you are gay”, he fumed.
To him, the push for legalization or acceptance of homosexual practices in Ghana is an agenda by the Western
superpowers but strongly believed their agenda won’t work here in Ghana.
”The whole thing is targeted on Africans, more on Africans. You can’t go and do that in Thailand. You can’t go and do
that in Indonesia. Why Africa? Why? The birthplace of civilization! What has happened to us?”, he expressed his
disgust.
