A Catholic priest is calling on government to ignore human rights groups and launch a full war to curb the rising trend of homosexuals and lesbians in the country. Rector of the St. Peter’s Cathedral Basilica in Kumasi, Reverend Monsignor Raphael Owusu Peprah, says the phenomenon is a threat to our family systems and nationhood. He said nothing should be left to ensure practitioners of same-sex marriage do not find a safe haven in Ghana. Rev. Owusu Peprah questioned the motivation of human rights advocates who defend the actions of homosexuals. He warned the country could face the wrath of God if what he describes as an abominable practice is made to strive. Media reports of rising number of gays has gotten many Ghanaians worried, with some calling on the security agencies to get tough on people indulging in it. Monsignor Owusu-Peprah said any attempt to tamper with the family system would eventually affect the growth of church and society as a whole. Monsignor Owusu Peprah acknowledges the subject is very difficult and challenging, particularly in the face of globalization and its attendant problems. Source: Joy News/Ghana
