The top US government envoy said homosexuality in Ghana is more pervasive than Ghanaians would want to believe. Further to that, MYNEWSGH.com earlier reported him as saying that Ghanaians who are opposed to gay rights are being ‘myopic’; explaining that there was the need for those Ghanaians who oppose gay rights to study about the subject to understand it. He, in the said interview also expressed optimism that when Ghanaians get to study and understand gay rights, they will be more tolerant of homosexuals. Yet another group held the opinion that gay rights and homosexuality is “alien to our culture”, and “unacceptable” to Ghana under whatever circumstances, and if tied to aid, we did rather starve. Many Ghanaians on social media also disputed the assertion of the US Ambassador that there are more gays than known and many more afraid to show up.
