Leila Djansi has explained in length why Ghanaians should not attack Ama K Abebrese for recently showing support for the LGBTQI community.

It was earlier reported that Ama K Abebrese said that she does not judge the LGBTQI community while also calling for Ghanaians to respect them.

She argued that homosexuals are humans too and equally deserve the protection that everyone gets.

"I cannot pretend I know the fear that homosexuals and lesbians living in Ghana feel; the laws of Ghana criminalise homosexuality. The customs, many religions and the culture frown upon it."
"I can not judge them, for on the day of judgment we will ALL be judged. Just because I may not fully understand what they go through doesn’t mean that they do not deserve basic human rights. I aim to be more understanding of their plight. I think that more dialogue has to continue on the matter."

"(I see many comments online that equate them to rapists and paedophiles. Well.... predators are not bound by sexuality)." She wrote.

Her stance immediately drew criticism from Ghanaians who laid into her for her neutral stance.
Leila Djansi has urged them to cease the derogatory comments.

She raised some points justifying why they shouldn’t attack those who hold divergent opinions.

#Ghana social media needs to stop attacking Ama K Abebrese. Come on y’all! Enough with the derogatory comments.

Most of y’all abusing her for standing with the gay community fall into the following categories:

1. Fuckboys. All you care about is how many girls you can have casual sex with. You don’t have 5000ghc in your account but you want to have sex? And condemn lgbt? You’ve not earned the right.

2. You keep multiple sex partners and you don’t even use protection. You engage in sex for Brazilian hair, pizza, momo, Aqua Safari vacation and designer shoes and bags. Please take several seats!

3. You engage in threesomes. Shut up. Please.

4. Your bathroom is littered with sex toys of different shapes and sizes. You even use eggplant and green plantains. (Ola banana). You say what now?

5. Those calling God into the matter, okkkkk. Are you even right before God? Are you obeying ALL the commandments?

Please fight for the 10 yr old with Down syndrome who got raped anally and vaginally in Saviefe Agorkpo and leave the gay community to breathe. Who made you judge over the morals of two consenting adults?

You don’t condemn the rape of kids or husbands raping wives. The hypocrisy. Urgh! Citizens, who burn humans alive say what?

Ghanaians howled with laughter when Jimah sodomized Pabi in the film Sinking Sands. You guys share leaked sex tapes like manna falling from heaven. What right have you earned to pick and choose which “sin” is bigger?

Please face your true fear. Ghanaians/Africans don’t have a problem with lesbians, that’s kinky. Y’all have a problem with gay men because you cannot bear the thought of your fellow man succumbing to the indignity you subject women to when the lights go out.

You don’t have sex with women cos you love them, but cos it’s a conquest.

He who is without sin, cast the first stone. Instead of fighting what you don’t understand, try to understand and have empathy.
