We won't condone LGBTQI activities - National House of Chiefs

The National House of Chiefs has described the activities of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) as uncultured and non-Ghanaian.

“It is pertinent to note that, as traditional leaders and for that matter custodians of our lands, we will never support, accept or condone such practices”, the House of Chiefs said in a press release.

Nananom said  nowhere in history does the Ghanaian culture subscribe to LGBTQI which is “taboo, inhuman and alien to society”.

The chiefs added that although they will never entertain LGBTQI in the communities, they will continue to have respect for the human rights and opinions of such individuals.

In the meantime, the National House of Chiefs has pleaded with the public to be lawful and desist from unleashing attacks on persons who identify or are believed to be members of the homosexual movement.
