British Prime Minister’s homosexuality comment insulting – Prof. Onyinah

The Chairman of the Ghana Pentecostal Council, Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah has said the British Prime Minister, Theresa May’s offer to support the legalization of homosexuality in Commonwealth Countries is offensive.

Theresa May last week urged Presidents of African countries attending the Commonwealth Heads of government meeting in London to decriminalize homosexuality in their various countries.

She argues it is wrong for homosexuals to be persecuted for their sexual preference, adding her country is ready to support African countries to reform their laws to accommodate the interest of homosexuals.

“Across the world, discriminatory laws made many years ago continue to affect the lives of many people, criminalizing same-sex relations and failing to protect women and girls. Nobody should face persecution or discrimination because of who they are or who they love, and the UK stands ready to support any Commonwealth member wanting to reform outdated legislation that makes such discrimination possible.”

But Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah who’s also the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost stated that homosexuality is repugnant and must not be countenanced in Ghana.

“That was an insult to Ghanaians, insult to the extent that they were trying to dictate for us and if you become poor that’s what people will do to you. Once you become self-supporting someone will not dictate for you. It’s a taboo to Christianity, a taboo to Muslims and a taboo to Traditional Religion. People are trying to do unnecessary things in the name of human rights, you cannot tell us that no, I want to do what I want do.

Someone will say I want to kill people, I’ll like to go naked, do we allow him to do that? That’s no right, if someone is going overboard, we have to bring the person’s mind to sense. Many of these people are suffering, publicly they’ll say bla bla bla as if they are happy, but that’s a lie.” He said on a Walk with Jesus on Joy FM.
