Ace broadcaster, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah popularly known as KKD believes homosexuals in the country are being true to themselves and must not hide their sexual orientation.
According to KKD, although the country’s law and culture frowns upon homosexuality, it is “stupid” for gays and lesbians in the country to hide their sexuality when they are only living their true selves.
He, however, refused to state whether or not he supports legalization of LGBT in the country when he was asked with an excuse that he has not given it a thought and is yet to learn enough about LGBT.
“There are people in Ghana who are gays. It is because of the law in Ghana that they hide. I think it is stupid that anybody living their truth must hide.
I do not know (whether homosexual should be legalized). I haven’t given it any thought. I need to think about it. I don’t know enough about it. I have read about it just because my son came out to say he is a gay,” KK said.
The celebrated broadcaster said this while responding to questions on the revelation by his son that he has been gay since his primary school time.
While taking on those who condemn homosexuals, the former Citi FM broadcaster stated that he had encountered homosexuals in all the companies that he has worked with and cannot be bothered about his son being a homosexual.
“Everywhere I had worked, there were people who were gay. It didn’t bother me. It is a subject that baffles only those who wants to be baffled because there are people living with people who are gays and lesbians but do not know. People are condemning others for sins that they do not commit but they are committing worst sins than the ones they condemned,” he pointed out.
He also disagreed with assertions that his son is homosexual because of his upbringing in the United Kingdom (UK) arguing that there are people in Ghana who are gays and lesbians hence, his son being a gay has nothing to do with his life in the UK.
In 2017, KKD’s son who lives in the UK revealed in a publication that he has been a gay since he was in primary school but had difficulty revealing his sexuality.
Although in the UK, where he lives, recognizes homosexuals and others similar to them, Ghana, his originating country, does not.
The Ghanaian culture frowns on homosexuality and its activities. The laws of Ghana also prohibit anal sex which is typical of gays.
