Ghanaian Parliament and Council of Chiefs Stands 10 Toes Down Against the Agenda

[Pull Up the Roots]

I wish he could argue his points a bit better. Every time that reporter tried to personalize his view, he should have responded with only 7% of our population supports the reporter's view. Each and every time, he should have hammered in the fact that he is actually taking into consideration what the vast majority of the Ghanaian population desires.

Never let them easily change the subject like that reporter did, because all they are trying to do is get their points in while quickly pushing past any points you have. It is a hit piece tactic they use to color the interviewed in the most negative manner possible.

Is this really how you believe the rights of a minority of a population should be decided?

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

That reporter is clearly trying to push an agenda and clearly sucks at his job. Ghanaians should vote based on a referendum whether this is something they want to spend money and time trying to enforce.

To enforce this, you are basically asking the public to give law enforcement more power to spy on people, then you're taking those people out of the job market, putting them in the court system and slowing it down as lawyers on both sides have to make arguments. You're then putting that person(s) into a prison with other people who are gay.

So if you're cool with government raising taxes to increase the budgets of police, courts, and prisons, then you should decide that within a fair referendum since it's a cultural issue. Often times whenever politicians focus on trying to regulate and constrain individual behaviors instead of clamping down on powerful individuals and groups who can do serious damage to the country(like companies like blackstone who buy up housing and jack up the price or companies that jack up the price of medication, or agribusiness who buys up land and poisons it) it tells you that they're not interested in solving the problems of the people who voted for them. They recognize the difference between powerful and weak enemies. It's easy to go after gay people, it's hard to go after a multimilliondollar company that wants to restore that East India company feeling.

All of this kind of legislation is built upon an assumption that homosexuality is a choice and that enough homosexual messaging will suddenly make you want to sleep with the same sex despite never having those inclinations or interests. That's why people use the term homophobic. The anger at Alphabet people stems from a fear that they'll somehow FORCE you into thinking thoughts you don't want to think and doing shyt you don't want to do.

If that were the case, gay people wouldn't exist since 99% of all content involves heterosexual messaging.

Let the people vote and decide on what they want their money spent on. If it's this, then the rest of the world should respect that. If it isn't, then the representatives are bound by law to respect the wishes of the public when those wishes are explicitly voiced.

I don't think mf's should be prosecuted for being , I can't even think of a good reason to hate them these days, but West Africa as a region have way, way more pressing issues than letting queers be more open

Did you actually read read what I wrote. I said, every time he personalizes the statements, he should have pointed out he is doing what the vast majority of his people desire. It is his country, he is serving the desires of his people.

In fact, it was the very act by the west of interjecting themselves into the politics of those African nations that is causing this sort of backlash. Going around the world and trying to push LGBTQ+ on poor nations the West wants to reduce the populations of will cause a backlash like this. If the West really cared about those nations, they would help in the areas where the other 93% feel are very important. Many of those countries have far greater issues than what the LGBTQ+ consider important. To have the only superpower push an issue on them that is at the bottom of their concerns will cause it to jump to the top of their list to resolve, but not in the manner the US desires.

Last, that interview is a hit piece. There were no genuine attempts to ask questions about the issues. That being the case, he should have answered in a manner that shuts down the BS questions.

I'm asking you a question. Save all that culture wars western boogeyman bullshyt for somebody else. I'm asking you about an oppressed minority seeking fair treatment where they live.

Edit: The bold is especially stupid, because a lot of these countries are wrecked by poverty and famines, and that something which affects population growth. Not treating a minority of your people fairly. They're just making things worse.

I put on here a good while back my order of worry. On my list, Other Nations with a Black population came right before Other Non-Black Nations. So really, I am glad they refuse to allow the west to control their politics. Outside of that, I really don't care what they do in their own country.

Oh and last, I don't consider LGBTQ+ to be minorities. No, they need to be something besides a party of the rainbow crew to get that designation from me. Your sexual proclivities does not entitle you to being considered an oppressed minority in my opinion.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Because they are trying to destroy Africa for the future.

It's already worked on the African American community. They'll want to put thousands of abortion clinics in Africa too.

this has nothing to do with rights, this has to do with celebrating destruction

That is a cop-out and a losing argument. If 90% of the population voted to execute lefthanded people, do you think that course of action would be acceptable?

Tyranny by the majority is a concept that is well understood. It is why respectable legal systems, or at least legal systems that aim to be respectable, introduce certain rights that are inalienable. It is a necessary check.

I can't in good conscience say that I agree with Ghana's approach. When I look at the problems hurting people over the world, I cannot point to the LGBT community as the culprit so it is somewhat pitiful that people treat their oppression as some type of victory.

I actually think it would not be an issue if Kamala had not gone over there to discuss it or told them it would be on the agenda(pun intended).

I think they did it to make a strong point.
