GHANA TOPS GAY LIST IN AFRICA!

'Our welcome must, however, come with a word of caution. South Africa is the only African country to recognise same-sex relationships and is the only nation on the continent where engaging in homosexual activity is not a crime. Therefore, in Ghana as in all other African countries, be very, very careful,' the site's welcome statement said.

Ghana has been named as the African country with the most registered homosexual 'hopefuls' seeking expatriate partners. This is according to an online website that is ripe with homosexual information.

A statement on accraexpats.com by a contributor, Andy S, stated that though Ghana was not an African gay paradise, there may be many desperate young men who were looking for greener pastures.

'Dating sites are the most frequently used ways to meet a (potential) lover or gay guide in a foreign country. At sites like Outpersonals or Gaydar, you will find that Ghana is the country in Africa with the most registered hopefuls.'

'No other country in Africa has so many boys and men looking for a partner on Outpersonals with picture (often naked) than Ghana. Does this mean Ghana is the Gay paradise in Africa? No...! It may mean that there are plenty young men desperate enough to seek greener pastures elsewhere and who are developed enough to have access to the internet and a digital camera,' Andy added.

'Our welcome must, however, come with a word of caution. South Africa is the only African country to recognise same-sex relationships and is the only nation on the continent where engaging in homosexual activity is not a crime. Therefore, in Ghana as in all other African countries, be very, very careful,' the site's welcome statement said.

The site also highlights certain locations in Accra which are tagged 'no-go zones' for expatriates due to the 'very dangerous' nature of such areas. One of such 'very dangerous' areas in Accra is Christian village located in Achimota.

With public debates on gay rights still raging on, activities of gay tourist sites adds to the woes of the country on its actual stance on homosexuality.
