Ghana's ruling NPP chairman supports Gayism. Let’s allow gays to be; I don’t see what the hullabaloo is all about- Freddie Blay.

The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Freddy Blay has called for gays to be allowed to express their desired sexual preference.

According to him, even though he does not embrace the practice as an individual, he does not understand the public outcry and heightened discussions around the issue.

Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Asaase Radio, he expressed his reservations about the ‘hypocrisy’ surrounding the conversation about gays and called for the practitioners to be left alone.

“I don’t subscribe to gay. It’s a choice. Because I’m not attracted by them. But I don’t want to go into people’s bedrooms. I don’t want to see what they’re doing. If people want to be gays, I think it should be their problem", he added.

"I won’t go-ahead to be a persecutor of those who want to be together as man and man, or woman and woman. I think there’s too much hypocrisy about it", he said.

And we’ve been excited, emotions have been excited over it to the extent that we’re not sober over it. I honestly don’t see [what] the hullabaloo is all about. We should allow them”, he noted.
