So let\u2019s be careful today it is LGBTQ+ position that is unpopular and you are criminalising and punishing it, tomorrow, something that is perfectly legitimate can also become an unpopular position and then we will say we want to punish those who share that view too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But reacting to the Member of Parliament\u2019s position on the LGBTQI debate which has been going on for some time now, some Ghanaians are peeved by the position of the Member of Parliament who they tink should know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To them, there is the need for the people of Bawku to vote him out of power for supporting an act which they see as non Ghanaian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some sections of Ghanaians on social media have indicated that the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central does not deserve to serve in the lawmaking house of Ghana for indicating that homosexuals have rights and that the closure of their office is against their freedom of association.
