Your unacceptable behaviour can’t be condoned – Kwabena Agyepong to LGBTQI+ members

Flagbearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has revealed that as a conservative man, he will not support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+).

He however believes that the act and the people involved should not be criminalized.

The former Scribe of the NPP says even though he will not support any move to criminalize LGBTQI+ and its related activities, this is not a behaviour that should be condoned in Ghana.

“I’m very conservative so although I respect people’s rights, I’m not going to advocate for that kind of behaviour. I think that we should not criminalize it but we should not advocate it. It should not be in our faces”, he observed.

He continued while speaking on Good Evening Ghana that “we should speak against it because when Jesus created Adam he did not create another Adam. He created Eve. So I think it’s important to know that all of us are products of women and so sometimes I worry about that. But I am not prepared to be part of the argument that says that they should be annihilated from the earth”.

Adding that “We have major social issues in this country and there are many others. We have drug menace and other things that are happening around the country and of course with social media and the explosion of the world now it is incumbent on us as leaders of our country to advise and lead by example and set the right examples for our youth. This is not a behaviour that we can condone”.
