I don’t mind working with an LGBT person – Gospel musician MOG

Gospel musician Nana Yaw Boakye better known by stage name MOG Music says he doesn’t mind working with an LGBT person.

The singer speaking in an interview with Joy Prime said people in the LGBT community are just as human as everyone else and need to be loved rather than victimized.

“I don’t mind working with an LGBTQ person. They are people that need to be shown love,” he stated.

“If we are saying what they are doing is wrong the only way we can correct them is through love. But when we despise them and push them away, it is not going to bring any change, they will still keep on doing what they are doing” he said.

The recent opening and subsequent closure of an LGBTQI office in Ashongman in Accra generated public conversations on the issue.

While some say the practice when allowed will serve interests that are abhorrent to the culture and values of the Ghanaian people, others have insisted that the rights of LGBTQIs must be protected like anyone else.

Many religious bodies, Parliamentarians, Ministers-Designates, human right advocates,  supporters of the movement and other relevant stakeholders, in particular, have all waded into the debate for the legalization or criminalization of homosexuality in Ghana.
