According to Sonnie Badu, a gospel musician and pastor from Ghana, a sizable portion of American gospel musicians identify as LGBT+.
In an interview with Accra FM, Sonnie Badu, who serves as the lead pastor of Atlanta’s Rockhill Church, disclosed this information. He asserted that over 78% of gospel musicians and preachers in the United States identify as LGBT+.
“In America, about 78% of gospel musicians there are gay; most of these popular musicians that we play their songs on our airwaves and in our churches are into LGBT activities. If you get to know them you won’t play their songs again. Even some of the bishops that we follow and listen to are involved in LGBT activities,” he said.
He said he was once warned by a fellow gospel musician not to interfere in such matters.
“One of the gospel musicians even warned me to mind my business when I see the things they’re involved in because they know I am conservative,” he said.
Sonnie Badu also highlighted his concerns regarding the effect of the LGBT+ agenda, which he stated is evident in various parts of society, including media, education, and entertainment.
He added that subtle messages are delivered through seemingly innocent cartoons, which has prompted him to prohibit such content in his household.
“This LGBT+ agenda is not just in Ghana, it’s everywhere, it’s in many countries, in their books, schools, cartoons, etc.
Personally, in my house, my children don’t watch cartoons again. These innocent cartoons are now subtly sending messages to our children. It’s disturbing as a parent,” he said.
Meanwhile, the anti-LGBT+ Bill passed by parliament on February 28, 2024, still awaits presidential assent.
The Bill aims to make it illegal to practice or promote LGBT+ activities, and prosecutors could face 3 to 5 years in prison.
