Controversial LGBTQ+ rights activist and transgender musician, Angel Maxine, has posed a thought-provoking question to the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama.
Angel Maxine's inquiry revolves around the principles of love and compassion within religious beliefs, particularly concerning allegations of moral transgressions and the LGBTQ+ community.
This comes in response to Mahama's recent declaration aligning his personal faith with his opposition to LGBTQ+ activities.
Mahama stated, "I am against LGBTQ. I am a member of the Assemblies of God Church, and my faith is against it."
However, Angel Maxine, using her platform on Instagram, has drawn attention to Mahama's own experience in 2020 when he faced an alleged adulterous scandal, earning him the colloquial label 'papanu.'
"You said your faith is Ghana governed by religion because that is what everybody is riding on. In case you have forgotten what your religion preaches about... Your religion preaches about love, compassion, that is why in 2020 when your adulterous scandal came out that earned you the name 'papano' , your religion protected you.
"Your religion showed you love even though adultery is a sin in the bible. So, if your religion can show you love, show you compassion for being an adulturous man that is a sin in the bible. Why can't your religion show love to the LGBQT community," Angel Maxine.
Despite the moral transgression, Maxine pointed out that Mahama was shielded and shown love within his religious community.
Maxine is recognized for her advocacy against the passage of the LGBTQ+ community Bill, which proposes the criminalization of same-sex relationships.
The anti-LGBT bill, which has been widely criticised by human rights groups and foreign governments, is currently being debated in parliament.
The Bill extends its reach to encompass relationships between a person and an animal or object, suggesting imprisonment terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.
