The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) is asking government to immediately arrest and prosecute  individuals or groups who allegedly participated in the opening of the LGBTQI office in Ghana.

In a press communique sighted by CediDollar.com, the Council insists, diplomats who have something to do with the promotion of LGBT activities in Ghana must also be invited to explain their role in what appears to be the violation of the sovereignty of Ghana.

According to the GPCC, “The actions of the LGBTQI movement is also completely at variance with the laws of God as spelt out in the Holy Bible concerning God’s plan of creation and the sanctity of marriage between Man and Woman as ordained by God”

The Council emphasized that “the GPCC is very resolute in its stance against the LGBTQI movement and its activities in Ghana and is standing firm with all other stakeholders on this matter with the hope that government would take concrete steps to reassure Ghanaians of their unwillingness to succumb to pressure from some notable western powers to sell out our cherished values and to safeguard the future of our children from a perverse generation of vampires scheming to destroy us.”

Background

This follows the opening of an office in Tesano, Accra, to promote LGBTQ Rights in Ghana.

In attendance at the fundraiser were some invited guests including the Australian High Commissioner, Gregory Andrews, the Danish Ambassador, Tom Nørring and some delegates from the EU.

The development angered a section of the public and has led to groups such as the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Catholic Bishops Conference, Christian Council of Ghana calling for the immediate closure of the alleged office in Tesano.

The Minister-designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Sarah Adwoa Safo, during her vetting said the criminality of the practice of homosexuality in Ghana is non-negotiable.

She further added that, the country’s laws and culture frown on the practice and she is in support of those positions.

“The issue of LGBT is an issue which when mentioned creates some form of controversies but what I want to say is that our laws are clear on such practices. So on the issue of the criminality of LGBT is non-negotiable and our cultural practices also frown on it and these are two strong stands on the matter and this is what I stand for,” she stated.
