They Need Love- Actor Adjetey Anang Asks Ghanaians To Embrace Homosexuals
Despite the reluctance of many actors to discuss sensitive topics to protect their image, Adjetey Annang is not afraid to speak out.
The veteran actor known for his breakthrough role in the hit TV series, Things We Do For Love, has emphasized the importance of treating homosexuals with love and acceptance, highlighting the need for society to embrace them for who they are as individuals.
“I have always had a problem with how people react to people who are in that category. They are human beings, and we need to check how we treat them and how we judge them.
“The fact that their actions, or whatever their actions are, may not align with what we believe in as Christians, for example, doesn’t mean we should do away with them.
“How do we show them love so that there can be a transformation? When it comes to the law, I was telling somebody that I think that we shouldn’t have touched this thing. We shouldn’t have gone to parliament with it but rather find spaces in communities, values, custodians and see how we handle these things in our own terrain,” MyNewsGH quoted him as saying.
On the flipside, Nana Yaw Boakye, known within the realms of showbiz as MOG recnetly made it clear that he will refrain from expressing his views on the anti-LGBT+ bill to protect his reputation.
He firmly believes that this topic is extremely contentious and delicate, as Ghanaians often criticize people who voice their support or opposition towards the bill.
The pastor and singer said he would plead with the fifth in this regard to avoid clashing with Ghanaians.
“I’ll just plead the fifth. I’m saying this to protect my brand. Because if I say “for”, people will talk, if I say “against”, people will talk. I’ll just be in the middle. I can only disclose what I stand for in private. But for now, I’ll plead the fifth”, He said this on United Showbiz on UTV.
Meanwhile, the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has made it clear that he does not support the anti-gay bill recently passed by the Ghanaian parliament.
He emphasized that Ghana will continue to uphold its reputation as a protector of human rights. According to a statement released by the President, the bill is currently being contested in the Supreme Court, and the nation must wait for the court’s decision.
The anti-gay bill was approved by Ghana’s Parliament on February 28, 2024.
