Ghanaian musician Ohemaa Mercy has urged national leaders to reject the push for legalizing homosexual activities in the country, despite advocacy from certain activists.

She believes that such acceptance would bring serious negative consequences to Ghana, citing her religious convictions that view homosexuality as abhorrent and harmful.

In an interview with 3FM, monitored by GhanaWeb, Ohemaa Mercy described homosexuality as a taboo influenced by malevolent forces aimed at destroying lives.

She shared that individuals who have confided in her about their struggles with homosexuality often find themselves seeking spiritual intervention.

Mercy emphasized that she would not support the inclusion of homosexuality in legislation, warning that doing so could lead to divine disfavor and harm the nation.“For me, where I am standing in the spiritual side, you can't control it. Anytime I meet young ladies and gentlemen that share their problems with me, especially with this, they open up to you. I have a lot of calls. And you could see that the person is not of him or herself. I will never allow that.

“It [homosexuality] is something that God hates. And if you are listening to me and you are going through that, you need the hand of God. You are not of yourself. I will never stand on the fact that they need us to get them close, to help them get out. But the fact that they want us to put it on the bill to accept it will not help this nation. It will actually take off the face of God from Ghana and incur God’s wrath,” she warned.The Anti-LGBT+ Bill remains under review by parliament, with its final status yet to be determined by the Supreme Court.
