Former Presidential Advisor on Reproductive Health Professor Fred Torgbor Sai has added his voice to the controversial homosexuality debate in Ghana. He believes religious leaders who are up in arms against homosexuality must examine themselves in relation to their religious teachings. Reacting to recent comments by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey who earlier this week described the practice as "unbiblical, un-African, abnormal and filthy," Prof Sai challenged the basis of this assertion, saying it is inconsistent with biblical doctrines. In an interaction with the media and health experts on Thursday, Prof. Sai said the tone of the Man of God upset him greatly. He said “if I take Christianity which is my religion, in the Old Testament, God asked Moses to have a man stoned just because he went fetching firewood on the Sabath. Who will kill a man today for not going to church and going to fetch firewood… Christ says be tolerant; Love your neighbor as yourself so those commands of Christ need to be looked at in relation to how we feel about [homosexuality].” In his view, even if a married couple decides to have what is termed as unnatural sexual intercourse such as oral sex, they might be breaking the law if it is enforced strictly. “Oral sex is a kind [of unnatural sex] because we see the bad results sometimes of Syphilis ulcers or even gonorrhea in the mouth so we know that people have been practicing oral sex. Are they going to be put before the law as practicing unnatural sex? What about using the finger? Are you going to put people before the law?” the experienced physician queried. Under Ghanaian law, same-sex sexual activity is illegal. The Criminal Code of 1960 – Chapter 6, Sexual Offences Act, (Act 104) says “Whoever is guilty of unnatural carnal knowledge — (a) of any person without his consent, is guilty of first degree felony; (b) of any person with his consent, or of any animal, is guilty of a misdemeanor.” Prof. Sai is therefore urging human rights lawyers to seek interpretation of the law in the Supreme Court and to challenge the law that is oft quoted as the basis for outlawing homosexuality in the country.
