From Gay Star News:
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, son of Ghana’s first president Kwame Nkrumah, has spoken out against anti-gay laws and persecution of LGBTs in the West African nation.
Nkurmah said homosexuals should not be prosecuted. …
Currently Ghana has no explicit laws criminalizing homosexuality but a colonial era law banning ‘unnatural carnal knowledge’ has sometimes been applied to cases involving LGBT people and Nkrumah has called for the law to be clarified.
Nkurmah made the comments following Ghanaian Anglican Archbishop Yinkah Sarfo condemning comments by retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu that he would rather go to hell than a homophobic heaven.
‘Archbishop Tutu is respected in the Anglican Church and around the world but this time he has misfired and all Anglican Bishops from Africa, Asia and South America condemn his statement in no uncertain terms,’ Sarfo told Adom News.

Gay cant help any true child of God.
I dont buy that Idea of dr Nkrumah of not jailing a gay person, not that I hate them but I hate their characters. He/she is even to be put to death as the book of Duetronomy says;………….
the Duetronomy also allows that parents sell their daughters, alllows slavery and oblige women in their period to stay locked at their houses….we are in the 21st century and, thanks God, things have evolved….
We shall forever enjoy LGBT

using the Bible to justify discrimination in the XXI is like using the Bible to justify that the sun turn around the earth !! Love one another, that is all….homophobic people are full of hate, they are not Christians…
