I don’t know what it is with @TrueReligion & their staff. They don’t want you touching the clothes, like wtf? If it gets messed up, fold them!!Last yr it happened to me at the Jersey Garden mall & I vowed not to step there again. Today it happened to me at the Potomac mills mall.

Agreed. But HC judges aren’t interpreters of the Constitution ONLY the SC & no case has gone to the SC as far as we know. Nonetheless, even the new bill was written only for “the lgbtqi+ so the punitive measures doesn’t relate to heterosexuals. Pls take a look at it.

[Angie @KorpisahA]

@jomokenyata Lol. You cant say the law wasn't written for heterosexuals.. judges have already analysed that law and concluded that it doesn't explicitly apply to LGBTQ. It was basically the groundwork for this new bill ready to be passed.

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

Understanding any constitution, means stepping into the mind of the framers (devoid of any biases) to interpret it. The law wasn’t written for heterosexuals so interpreting it vaguely is only for argument purposes. Anyway, I guess that’s why we have the Supreme Court justices.

[Angie @KorpisahA]

@Mants3_Adjei @jomokenyata @IcanKudivo This is not the first time an argument is being raised on what that those clauses mean. However people arent wrong in interpreting it as the law criminalising oral and anal sex even among the opposite sex.

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

Please, the conversation here is only in reference to our constitution as described by our customary law. Our customs defines “unnatural carnal knowledge” as any sexual activity, with anyone/thing, other than that with the opposite sex (above 16). There’s no ambiguity in that.

[Benedict @_Nii_Mants3]

@jomokenyata @KorpisahA @IcanKudivo It criminalises unnatural carnal knowledge with any person above 16 years (with or without consent) or an animal. 104(2) of Act 29 simply defines what unnatural carnal knowledge means. In simple terms you are both wrong, although you are closer to the answer.

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@freddydrumz @TogbeElorm @IcanKudivo Are you aware that suicide is a crime?? Attempting to take your own life cos you’re tired of living it, is punishable under our laws. Isn’t that an act of “consent” by the individual??

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@Tindam_ @IcanKudivo That’s the same problem, the cnn guy suffered. Not reading the bill before debating it, would lead you into such realms. Masturbation is an act by one wo/man not 2,Fellatio btwn a man & woman is not under debate so why draw it into this?? The constitution is clear “homosexuality”

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@TogbeElorm @freddydrumz @IcanKudivo Time & again it’s been explained that the bill criminalizes attacks on lgbtqi individuals, but we wouldn’t read before arguing

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@Ayinbisa2 @IcanKudivo Maybe you don’t understand the word “homosexual” n. a person who is sexually attracted to people of their own sex. Meaning it could be man/woman

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@Mants3_Adjei @KorpisahA @IcanKudivo What does it criminalize pls?? Have you read (2)?

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

@freddydrumz @IcanKudivo What makes one gay or homosexual? Just by virtue of being born a male/female?

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

The US is Saudis’ biggest trading partner & yet Saudi has an outright ban on the LGBTQI+ activities, worse than what Ghana is proposing, why don’t you call & interview the lawmakers there? Or you were only hired to have biases against your ppl?? @LarryMadowo

[One World CNN @OneWorldCNN]

Ghana’s parliament is set to debate a bill that -- if passed -- would introduce one of the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws on the African continent.

Watch this incredibly tense exchange between @LarryMadowo and Ghanaian MP @samgeorgegh.

[Jomo @jomokenyata]

Honestly, the next time you want to debate a Ghanaian politician, it’ll be very wise to abreast yourself with the topic at hand. Journalism 101 would tell you don’t debate ppl on emotions but on facts.
