GHANA – According to several family members who spoke on the condition of anonymity, their father became ill after learning of his gay son’s sexual orientation and was frequently seen abroad crying his son’s name before his death.

Siblings of the young guy had previously learned of their brother’s involvement in the act, but their predicament was made worse when images and videos of the young man promoting an LGBTQI community campaign surfaced.

Our brother’s involvement with the LGBTQI was a shock to us because we were reared in an Islamic home where such behavior is not tolerated.
