Perhaps, some of you would agree that we Ghanaians live in a culture of silence. A silence which we have, of course, imposed upon ourselves. Undoubtedly, there are certain things in our country, which we all seem to know about. However, due to certain unexplainable reasons – we have chosen to keep them in the closet.
I don’t know what it is about we Ghanaians. It seems to me that we are too afraid to face reality right in the face. Also, our unwillingness to open up to certain things has crippled us emotionally. We have this funny idea that silence is synonymous to absence, albeit untrue. Quite recently, Ghana-web published an article on homosexuality.
The article, in my opinion, was not all that controversial. I was, nevertheless, overwhelmed by the many comments – which flooded the article. Obviously, there were so many people who were offended by it. Others called for Ghana-web to be totally banned. As usual, the insults were many. Our Christian visitors on Ghana-web dusted their Bibles and started preaching. Bible verses were seen flying to and fro like bullets in flight. Unanimously, homosexuality was utterly condemned by both our Christian and Muslim brothers and sisters.
