Vida Essel-LampteyLawyer, and Founder of Danquah Institute, Gabby Otchere Darko has said that he is not gay but will continue to speak against the public hit on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals, Transgender and Queer Individuals (LGBTQI) in the country.
According to him, he has never been and would never be one, however, he recognizes the community hence his decision to speak against the hit unleashed on them by the public adding that sexuality unlike race is not like ones skin neither was it like ones skin colour.
“Preach against gay bashing and u r tagged gay! No! Some of us are not gay, have never been and will never be. But we recognize them and will continue to speak against gay bashing. Unlike race, sexuality is not like the colour of ones skin. Well done Tawa!,” he said.
