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.
