A Ghanaian Gospel Singer based in the US has asserted that a notable portion of American gospel musicians identify as LGBTQI+ individuals.
The lead pastor of Rockhill Church in Atlanta, USA, disclosed this during an interview with Accra FM, stating that roughly 78% of American gospel musicians and pastors identify as LGBTQI+.
“In America, about 78% of gospel musicians that we play their songs on our airwaves and in our churches are into LGBTQ activities.
“If you get to know them, you won’t play their songs again. Even some bishops that we follow and listen to are involved in LGBTQI activities,” Sonnie Badu said on March 18.
He mentioned that a fellow gospel musician had once advised him not to involve himself in such matters.
“One of the gospel musicians even warned me to mind my business when I see the things they are involved in because they know I am straight,” he added.
Sonnie Badu voiced his worries about the LGBTQI+ agenda’s effect, claiming that it permeates all facets of society, such as the media, school system, and entertainment industry.
He mentioned that seemingly innocent cartoons often convey subtle messages, which is why he has prohibited such content in his home.
“This LGBTQ+ agenda is not just in Ghana, it’s everywhere in the world, it’s frightening, it’s in many countries, in their books, schools, cartoons, commercials etc.
“Personally, in my house, my children don’t watch cartoons again. These innocent cartoons are now subtly sending messages to our children. It’s disturbing as a parent,” he noted.
The Anti-LGBTQ+ bill in Ghana has been passed by Parliament and is awaiting Presidential assent.
However, two lawsuits have been filed at the Supreme Court regarding the bill. Due to these legal challenges, President Akufo-Addo has requested Parliament to postpone transmitting the bill to him for presidential assent until the Supreme Court resolves the issues.
The President has advised Parliament to await the outcome of the legal proceedings before proceeding with the bill.
