"No one is against them, as some of them need counseling, but let’s not allow this imposition on us. You have rights and we have rights too, so allow us to function," he emphasized.

Anyidoho further asserted that his stance on the matter mirrors that of his late mentor, former President John Atta Mills, whom he described as forthright and decisive on such issues.

"My position is the same as my late boss, Atta Mills. Atta Mills was very forthright with the issue," Anyidoho affirmed.

Moreover, the former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) criticized President John Dramani Mahama for politicizing the LGBTQ+ issue, noting inconsistencies in Mahama's approach during his presidency.

"Mahama left a lot of things hanging when he was President so I don’t understand why he is lambasting Akufo-Addo as far as the Bill is concerned," he remarked.
