Ghana's Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021, is not against the personhood and disposition of members of the LGBTQI+ community, a former Ambassador of Ghana to Canada, Nii Ayikoi Otoo, has said. "It's the promotion they are talking [against, rather]," he asserted.
He sat with the Class Media Group (CMG) Chief Executive and host of the brand-new Master of the Game show, Kwesi Kyei Darkwah (KKD).
Describing people of the LGBTQI+ fold, the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice said, "These are natural people who have the natural defects." He indicated he had the same defect; in his case, having a body that suggests femininity. "Like me - my mother always told me, 'You, when you wear no-collar [shirts], you look like a female, your body, and all that'," Ayikoi Otoo explained.
He said these features are visible very early in an individual's life. "Ghana is not hostile to queer people," he argued. "We've tolerated them, calling them 'Kojo the Girl' [for instance]," he noted.
