Dancehall artiste, Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonbwoy has refuted perceptions that his children could become homosexuals.
According to the multiple award winning artiste, he believes that children inherit their parents’ traits. Therefore, since his wife and he are straight people, coupled with the way they are raising their children, they do not expect their children to become gays or lesbians.
“I believe that people will take after you most often. I am straight, my dad was straight, and my mother was straight. My family line majority of them showed straightness as far as I am concerned. So I believe that I am straight and I can put my hands on that.”
“My wife is straight, My daughter has got to be straight, and my son has got to be straight because they are continuing in that. So they are going to learn that,” he said on Starr FM.
Ghana’s parliament plans to pass an anti-lgbt bill into law. The bill seeks to criminalize lgbt activities including spelling imprisonment for advocators or allies of the abhorred act.
Religious leaders, Chiefs and some members of parliament have expressed their firm support for the bill.
However, some Human rights advocacy groups including the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) have expressed reservations about some aspects of the bill, especially portions implicating persons only expressing support for the group.
According to the CHRAJ, the nature of the bill tramples upon the freedom of expression of people.
Some have also expressed that although they do not support gay activities, they do not also believe that persons involved in the act should be subjected to punishments.
Meanwhile, promoters of the bill have expressed that there are some MPs behind the scene stalling the process to pass the bill.
