What I said was that, God created human beings. We know that there are some people who appear like men but they are women. We have people who by nature they behave like men although they are women (and vice versa) and so if you should give birth to such a person, will you kill them?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018\u2019I do not support homosexuality because it is disgusting.

However, we should always be careful to protect such individuals because there are some people who choose to be homosexuals.\u2019\u2019 <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Therefore, he called on Ghanaians to be careful so such individuals are not abused.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I am not in support of it but I am speaking based on what I have seen and witnessed.
