Motivational speaker and President of the Foundation for Future Leaders Emmanuel Dei-Tumi is attributing the increasing number of young people engaging in homosexuality to the absence of counseling units in schools.He believes young people are psychologically influenced into homosexuality and can be turned away from it through appropriate guidance and counseling.Mr Dei-Tumi told Joy News that unless a clear mechanism is fashioned out, the numbers will continue to increase to the detriment of society.“Society has to be proactive…If you go to our senior high schools today, you can count the number of our senior high schools that have a counseling unit. We used to have guidance and counseling in most of our schools [but] today they are no longer there,” he said.He described the problem as a “psychological thing.”“You engage the young person and try to understand the underpinnings; why is this young person behaving the way he or she is behaving. And then you can then guide and guard that particular individual in a manner that will make that particular individual become productive,” he said.The issue of homosexuality seems to have inundated the media in recent times, triggering a debate as to whether it should be legalized.It appears Ghana seems to be far away from any such move but many Christian organizations have kicked against any attempt to legalize it.Source: Joy News/Ghana
