A popular entertainment commentator, Ola Michael, has sparked controversy with his recent statement on LGBTQ+ activities, suggesting that they have the potential to bring about the end of the world.
During a discussion on the show United Showbiz with MizGee, Ola Michael drew parallels between the actions of LGBTQ+ individuals and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as described in the Bible. According to the Bible, these cities were destroyed due to the wickedness and depravity of their inhabitants, including homosexuality, violence, and disobedience to God’s laws.
Ola Michael emphasized that God’s judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a warning about the consequences of such behaviors, indicating that if unchecked, they could lead to the end of the world. He pointed to the biblical account of men desiring relations with other men and women seeking intimacy with other women as examples of behavior that could bring about divine judgment.
The Ghanaian Parliament recently passed an Anti-LGBTQ+ bill aimed at criminalizing homosexual activities. However, President Akufo-Addo has not yet approved the bill, leading to public debates about its potential impact and the severity of the proposed penalties.
While some Ghanaians support the bill and are eagerly awaiting the president’s endorsement, others argue that the penalties outlined in it are harsh and call for a reconsideration of the legislation.
The controversy surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and the proposed bill continues to stimulate discussions and debates among the Ghanaian public, highlighting the complex and sensitive nature of the issue.
