The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, says that as a Christian and a traditionalist, LGBTQ+ activities are an “affront” to him despite his love for everyone under his authority.
In an exclusive interview with Citi News’ Fred Duhoe, he stated “I believe the West should promote polygamy. Why do they promote same-sex relationships and think polygamy is bad?”
“Responding to the question of whether he thinks President Akufo-Addo should assent to the anti-LGBTQ+ bill into law, the Ga ruler noted that the subject is not an important one that needs to engage his attention.
The anti-LGBTQ+ bill has been a subject of controversy and a legal tussle currently before the Supreme Court of Ghana over the past months after Parliament passed the bill.
The Ga Mantse holds the view that people’s privileges and preferences should not be a subject of interest.
“I love everybody,” he emphasised. He wants issues regarding polygamy to be of interest to promoters of LGBTQ+ countries.
