Professor Akwasi Osei, a member of the National
Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, has stated that
homosexuality is an abnormal behaviour, mostly learned.
He said homosexuality is not biologically
determined.
Prof Osei, who is also the Chief Executive Officer
of the Mental Health Authority, said the argument that “homosexuality is
normal” was, therefore, not tenable.
Prof Osei stated this in his presentation to the
Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament public
hearing on the “Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family
Values 2021 Bill”, in Accra.
“Just about one to three per cent of any society
in the world are homosexuals, the vast majority are straight, so 97 to 99 per
cent are straight,” he stated.
“So, if you have only one to three per cent (being
homosexuals), how do you say it is so common that you want to consider it as
normal?”
The presentation of the Coalition focused on
addressing the real issues of LGBT.
He emphasised that people learned homosexuality as
a habit; adding that only a few homosexuals were born with the homosexual
tendencies.
Prof. Osei said the assertion that the biological
base of homosexuality was scientific was false and that homosexuality was not a
human right.
