We’ll campaign against you if you vote against the passage of anti-LGBTQI Bill – Petencost Church threaten MPs

The Church of Pentecost has vowed to campaign against parliamentarians should they fail to let the anti-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Bill passed into law with immediate effect. The Church believes the Members of Parliament (MPs) owe Ghanaians the moral duty to pass laws in the interest of the majority, hence, the Proper Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill brought before the house must be treated with the urgency it deserves. Speaking on Eyewitness News, General Secretary of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Alexander Kumi Larbi, said the Church is prepared to leverage its huge membership to kick against the normalization of same-sex sexual activities. The warning comes after some Christian leaders, including those of the Pentecost Church on Wednesday, submitted a memorandum to Parliament to express strong support for the Bill . “Our position is that we do not want this thing. The Church of Pentecost is 10.3 percent of the Ghanaian population. It is not about legal issues but morality. Within 48 hours, we have 15,000 signatories so if we give ourselves a week, all the 3 million members of the Church will sign. So if the MPs vote against this Bill, we also campaign against them in their constituencies. They were voted to go and defend what we want. So our position is that we are not in support of LGBT.”
