The Presiding Bishop of Victory Bible Church International, Bishop N. A. Tackie-Yarboi, has urged members of the LGBTQ+ community not to impose their lifestyle on others, stressing the importance of mutual respect and personal choice.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Bishop Tackie-Yarboi said while everyone has the right to make personal choices, it becomes problematic when those choices are forced on society.
“My take on the LGBTQ issue is simple, don’t force anyone to align with your lifestyle. Even if I choose to talk about it, that’s my right to free speech. I disagree with it, but once you try to force it down our throats, that’s where the problem starts,” he said.
The Bishop further noted that the law should focus on preventive rather than punitive measures to discourage people from engaging in such acts.
He also cautioned against judging people based on appearance, emphasizing that no one truly knows what happens in private.
“You can’t look at someone who’s effeminate and assume they’re gay. Unless you have evidence, you can’t make such judgments,” he added.
His comments come as Parliament prepares to reintroduce the controversial Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, following Speaker Alban Bagbin’s ruling that the bill expired with the dissolution of the 8th Parliament.
