Freedom of speech and freedom of expression “are raining torrentially” in Ghana, flooding streets and uprooting solid bridges across the country.

Even to the extent of “drowning” our 1992 National Constitution.

But some fellow countrymen and women recently claimed openly, that “a culture of silence” had “covered” our entire nation.

Indeed, freedom of speech and freedom of expression have collectively “conspired” to embolden homosexuals to be erecting huge billboards across the country to advertise and promote their activities in flagrant violation of the 1992 Constitution.

A huge billboard claiming to promote “love” and “tolerance” for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) community in Tamale, was recently torn apart by residents to register their fury and disdain over the erection of the billboard in the Tamale metropolis.

A similar billboard mounted in Accra was also pulled down by a section of Ghanaians who were angered by the activities of LGBTQ+ advocates and ‘adherents’.

Some Ghanaians even argue that with freedom of speech and freedom of expression now “sweeping the streets of the country”; perhaps, very soon, armed robbers, cocaine ‘merchants’ and outright murderers will also be emboldened to mount huge billboards across the country to promote their misdeeds in gross violation of our 1992 Constitution.

Apparently, the National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Freddie Blay, is now ‘in love’ with the ‘adherents’ and practice of the LGBTQ+ ‘gospel’ and ‘doctrine’ in the country.

Incontestably, the practice of the ‘gospel’ and ‘doctrine’ of the LGBTQ+ ‘adherents’ flies in the face of our national Constitution.

For sure, homosexual conduct is a criminalised conduct by Ghana’s

Criminal Laws. Section 104(1)(b) of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act,1960 (Act 29) abhors consensual same-sex intercourse and prohibits it.

So, it is very clear that consensual same-sex relation is a criminal offence within the meaning of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act

Indelibly, the only mode of sexual intercourse which does not offend Ghanaian law, is sexual intercourse between a male and female.

And fact of the matter is that the belief in proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values is ‘notoriously’ overwhelming amongst our nation’s citizenry: in line with our country’s laws, traditions and culture.

And yet, the National Chairman of the NPP is reported to be ‘in bed’ with the European Union in Ghana, which has openly thrown its weight behind the LGBTQ+ promoters in the country.

A huge amount of $200 million is reported to have been voted by some “Western” nations to promote LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana. Beneficiaries of the $200 million are said to be vocal groups, individuals and institutions.

Speaking on Asaase Radio in Accra, Mr Freddie Blay said;”homosexuals must be allowed to enjoy themselves in Ghana and not be prevented.”

The NPP national chairman says, he does not see any problem “with people who have other tastes.”

According to Chairman Blay:”I’m expressing my own opinion on the matter. I don’t subscribe to gayism as a choice because I’m not attracted to men. But gays have a choice to make.

“I won’t go ahead to be a persecutor of those who want to be together as man and man and woman and woman. I think there is too much hypocrisy about it.

“I honestly don’t see the hullabaloo about it. We should allow them to enjoy themselves.”

Angered by Chairman Blay’s statements, some  Ghanaians are asking many questions on various social media platforms including: “Are laws not made to regulate societies? Should armed robbers also be allowed to operate freely and ‘enjoy themselves’ in Ghana?

“Why is the Government also using scarce national resources to ‘disturb’ galamseyers ? Why is the state not allowing galamseyers to operate freely in the country? Don’t they have a choice to operate freely and ‘enjoy themselves’ in the country?

“What about Indian hemp cultivators and peddlers? And cocaine ‘merchants’ and smugglers in the country? Don’t they have a choice to operate freely and ‘enjoy themselves’ in the country?

“And murderers? Don’t they have a choice and ‘taste’ to murder and operate freely in the country?

“Why should ‘learned people’ like Freddie Blay speak recklessly in public about sensitive issues like gayism?

“Will Chairman Blay be very glad and excited if one of his sons  is publicly ‘married’  to a son of his neighbour?

“Is it not a fact that homosexuality is an abomination in almost every traditional community in Ghana?

“Is it also not true that any political party that will attempt to endorse and promote homosexuality in the country risks losing national elections?

“So, what is Freddie Blay’s motivation in asking homosexuals to be allowed to operate freely and ‘enjoy themselves’ in the country?

“Has he received some of the $200 million LGBTQ+ funding to promote the group in Ghana?

“And that he does not care whether his irresponsible utterances will partly cause ‘political havoc’ for the NPP, come the 2024 political campaigns?

“And that he is almost ready to leave the national chairmanship position of the NPP to return to his moribund CPP; so, he does not care about his misguided utterances?”

Readers, please, what is your own analysis of Chairman Blay’s ‘homosexual  palaver’ ?
