Ghanaian Highlife Hiplife Artist, Mr. Nsia Appau known as OkyeameKeame, has spoken out against the ill-treatment of LGBTQIAPK individuals.
In a virtual conversation with students from "The Ghana Universities Journal," the musician expressed his concern about the inhumane treatment of this group of people.
While he despises the excessive beating and shaming of LGBTQIAP individuals, Okyeame Kwame believes that a decision should be taken by Ghana on the matter, free from external influence.
He acknowledged that the issue is delicate and technical, with political implications.
Mr. Appau's comments come amid a growing debate in Ghana over the rights of LGBTQIAP individuals.
The country's laws criminalize same-sex relations, and there have been reports of violence against LGBTQIAP people.
The term LGBTQIAPK stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit, asexual, and ally.
It represents a diverse group of individuals who face discrimination and stigma in many parts of the world.
Mr. Appau's call for an end to the inhumane treatment of LGBTQIAP individuals is a welcome development in the ongoing debate around their rights and freedoms.
