A Public Health Expert, Douglas Adu-Fokuo has warned that homosexuality will have dire consequences on Ghana should it be allowed to fester in the country.
A homosexual group -LGBTQI+ Rights Ghana recently opened an administrative office in Tesano, a suburb of Accra, Ghana according to a media report.
The purpose according to the group is to push an agenda for the respect of their sexual right.
The group organized a fundraiser which was attended by several diplomats including the Australian High Commissioner who pledged to support the group.
However, Public Health Expert, Douglas Adu-Fokuo says the situation will hurt Ghana’s health and development.
Below is the full Statement
GAYISM AND ITS EFFECTS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Gayism will hurt our society by increasing STIs especially HIV/AIDs. This will put much burden on our health revenue.
Secondly, gayism will decrease the birth rate in developing countries drastically and this will result in a reduction in human resources eventually. Hence potential low productivity and reduction in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), especially in developing countries that lack advanced technology to replace human resources.
Were our parent’s gays would they be able to give birth to us to be productive in Ghana?
Human resource is a key to productivity in Ghana especially in the absence of advanced technology.
If care is not taken our human resources will keep decreasing and gradually it will affect our productivity and domestic growth.
Therefore, gayism and lesbianism should not be seen as individuals’ preferences for sexual desires. The issue should be addressed as a national and global concern.
The west has advanced technology to replace human resources if they continuously record a low birth rate. Already most of the developed countries like Japan, the USA, China, and the likes, have enough population and advanced technology to meet their target productivity and GDP. However, the situation is different in developing countries like Ghana.
Conclusion; what affects the few end up affecting the nation but not only the individual. The health of individuals is not only an individual concern but a global concern. Gayism is beyond sexual satisfaction, it has health and economic implications especially in developing countries deprived of advanced technology.
The international organizations should not impose GAYISM and LESBIANISM on Africa via treaties or sanctions. They must look at the future negative effects on our health and economy if indeed they care about AFRICA.
