Private Legal practitioner, Lawyer Moses Foh Amoaning has stated that some people who are going around professing to be gays to seek psychological and spiritual help.
The Lawyer speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Monday said these people need psychological and spiritual help as they have certain hormonal issues which can only be resolved through that.
According to them, these people form a minute fraction of three groups of homosexuals and ought to be assisted in that regard.
The second and third groups, he said, are people who are professing to be gays because of peer pressure and monetary issues.
There are people who have little medical or hormonal problems, others are also engaging in gay acts out of peer pressure and monetary issues, he said, adding that the second and third group ought to be dealt with as ones engaging in criminal acts.
“We must separate this last two groups and deal with them according to the criminal aspects of the law but assist those who need some psychological help and also make them aware that the power of God can drive away the spirit of homosexuality from them…,” he said.
Legalisation of homosexuality in the country has become a topical issue in the country once more following the President’s comments about the perceived abominable act in the country in an interview on Al Jazeera.
Asked why the country has failed to legalize homosexuality in the country, the president said until there is a strong call by the society for this to be done, there is no way the laws will be changed.
“This is a social, cultural issue, I don’t believe that in Ghana so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact on public opinion that will say ‘change it, let’s now have a new paradigm in Ghana.
“At the moment, I don’t feel, I don’t see that in Ghana there is that strong current of opinion that is saying this is something we need to deal with. It is not so far a matter that is on the agenda,” he added.
Reacting to the issue of homosexuality in the country, Lawyer Foh Amoaning said he does not see the practice as a fundamental human right. To him, being gay is an infringement on the right to life and hence ought to be looked at in that direction.
“The fundamental human right issue is right to life, so how do we protect the fundamental human right of right to life if we all decide to be gay?
He added that the argument of homosexuals do not hold water in law as it has no legal basis.
Moses Foh Amoaning said he and other Lawyers against the practice of homosexuality in the country are getting ready to hold a colloquium to bring the issue of homosexuality into the public domain and an antidote sought for it once and for all.
