Ghana generally frowns on same sex relationships and considers it illegal

Many might not believe this new kind of evangelism that has started in a part of the country which is considered a melting pot by all standards.

Adherents of certain religions and advocates of some social campaigns would probably be shocked at this form of proselytizing as gays have started a crusade in Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region to teach residents how to patronize and practise safer sex just as partners in heterosexual relations encourage the use of safer sex methods.

Most certainly yesterday will go down in history as another day that saw the security services voting massively for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President John Dramani Mahama.

Just as it happened in 2008, when the Security Services voted massively for Professor John Evans Atta Mills, the men and women in uniform, have, once again reposed massive confidence in the NDC administration.
