Vicky Zugah has taken issue with some public opinions on the thorny matter of homosexuality and the legalization of same-sex marriage in Ghana.
In a social media video, the actress argued against some public notions such as: “We don’t have any business [with] what people decide to do with their bodies; we don’t care what people do behind closed doors; we all sin differently anyway.”
Concerning ‘sinning differently’, she cited how a thief and a murderer receive different sentences before the law, with the latter receiving a harsher punishment on account of murder being a graver crime.
“The thief gets [a] six-month or one-year imprisonment,” she said, “Whereas the murderer gets life imprisonment or by hanging.”
“This is because some sins are heavier than others,” she stressed.
Vicky Zugah opined that there is a difference between “a man and a woman having sex behind closed doors and a man and another man having sex.”
Indicating she is a Bible-believing Christian, she said the holy book speaks of the first human couple being a man and a woman, indicating that God did not create Adam and Adam.
“The Bible says when God saw that Adam needed a helper, he created Eve as his companion,” she contended. “He didn’t create another Adam and he did not create two Eves as companions.”
Here, she said, those who, perhaps, do not believe in the Bible, should consider “the health implications – the health complications” that later attend the homosexual lifestyle.
She said these health implications have dire social consequences.
“The African society – the human race is, in fact, like a chain, she observed, arguing that humans are connected via relationships. Siblings, friends, cousins, aunts… So, if you say: Its not my concern and if someone sins, they’ll bear the consequences alone, [it’s not so]. It will eventually affect you, somehow.
You’ll pay with your time or money at a point. So, let’s all be careful, she passionately cautioned, appearing to be seated at the backseat of a car in a selfie video.
The actress said for same-sex marriage, she is of the conviction that without the intervention of God, we cannot completely eradicate or uproot it from the world.
“Even if Ghana enacts a law against it, it will [still] be legal in other countries. So, if someone feels that’s irrevocably how they are, they can decide to relocate there. That’d be an option.“
However, by all means, she urged, let’s try to keep it under control.
Ms Zugah noted that everyone sins but that is why we have crime officers so that we can keep the wrongdoing under control.
Ironically, the crime officer also commits offences, she conceded, adding that, in spite of that, society makes earnest effort to keep the crimes under control so that they don’t end up overwhelming us.
Thereafter, she appealed to fellow celebrities whose voices travel far and wide, to talk about these things because if your mother married a woman, she wouldn’t have birthed you.
Born Victoria Zugah, she mentioned at the beginning of the TikTok tape that she knows her thoughts would be “misconstrued” and “a lot of you will interpret it wrongly”.
