This Is Abhorrent Disrespect – Ghana’s Minister Slams Viral Gay Kiss At Ghana’s Independence Arch

Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram and Ghana’s outspoken anti-LGBTQ+ advocate, Samuel Nartey George, has broken his silence on the now-viral photos of a South African gay couple kissing at the Independence Arch in Accra.

While many praised the act as bold and progressive, critics called it “disrespectful” and demanded a response from Mr George, especially given his lead role in the promotion of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

In a strongly worded statement posted on social media, Sam George described the photo as a “gross affront to Ghanaian cultural values,” calling the individuals involved “useless” and “miscreants.”

“The disrespect of our national symbols is despicable to say the least,” he wrote.
