NDC MP, Alhassan Shuyini has said that the anti-LGBTQ bill passed by Parliament of Ghana not long ago is just to protect the young generation from its practice.
The MP stated that the bill seeks to prohibit people already into the practice from initiating younger generation into it as well as enforce it into the country’s school curricula.
Speaking on TV3 New Day show Mr. Suhuyini said the bill prohibits people in the LGBTQ community from adopting any child since that child needs to be protected.
He stressed that if in any case someone finds him/herself in a situation where they can’t procreate and may want to adopt its understandable but if its because the person belongs to the LGBTQ community then its prohibited because they may train the child to practice what they do.
“If there is any problem beyond your control, why you cannot recreate, you can’t produce. It is understandable for you to want to support society by adopting less privileged ones to give them the love that you have so much. But if you have made the decision not to continue life, we don’t think that you should because you will adopt these children and end up training them in the way that you are also practising. In fact, in this bill we have called for support and protection for them,” he stated.
He added that the issue of LGBTQ practice is a matter of choice and for that matter cannot be treated as a human right issue.
