The lesbians during their marriage ceremony
Two women believed to be citizens of Ghana have reportedly tied the knot in a lesbian marriage in Holland, where reports suggest they reside.
Pictures of the couple (names withheld) believed to have been taken at their private wedding ceremony in a city in Holland have since gone viral on social media.
This is coming at a time when President Akufo-Addo has made it clear that same sex marriage is not on the agenda of the country, as he considers it against the Ghanaian culture.
“At the moment, I don’t feel and I don’t see that in Ghana there is that strong current of opinion that is saying that this is something that we need even deal with. It is not so far a matter which is on the agenda,” Mr Akufo-Addo had told Aljazeera in an interview recently.
In one of the pictures that have gone viral, the two ladies who were beautifully dressed in what looks like a ‘kente’ cloth, a traditional Ghanaian wear, could be seen kissing passionately as they held each other’s hand. In another picture, the ladies wore their white wedding apparel
This is not the first time a Ghanaian national residing overseas is reported to have engaged in homosexuality.
In September this year, reports surfaced of one of Ghana’s foremost second cycle institution, Achimota Senior High School (Motown), of recording its first openly celebrated gay marriage.
That was when an alumnus of Motown (91 Year Group), Stephen Anertey Caesar, reportedly tied the knot with his Canadian male partner, Ryan Lathrum, at Sonoma Valley in America.
