The current President of the Ghana Catholic Bishop Conference, Most Reverend Philip Naameh has thrown his weight behind homosexuals by pleading the homophobians to consider respecting the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Life (LGBTQI+) community in the country.
According to the esteemed clergyman, homosexuals just like any humanbeing equally need protection and respect.
He aired these comments during an on-air radio interview with Abusua FM in Kumasi.
He further added that though the Catholic Bishop Conference frowns on the sexual orientation choices of LGBTQI+ persons in Ghana, that should not be grounds for persons who are engaged in LGBTQI activities to be denied basic human right like accommodation and job opportunities.
Lesbians and gays are humans so we need to respect them. We need to accord them those rights that all human beings enjoy. They should not be denied employment just because they are homosexuals… They should not be denied accommodation
We just don’t say that because he has homosexual tendencies, whereas all human beings have a right to something, he should be denied it.
