Former Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mike Ocquaye has warned that Africa�s traditional family system is under threat from gay promoters from the West. �We consider this an abomination. We don�t want a moustache man marrying another bearded man and it is the right of the children to call a man father and a woman mother. Children brought up in the other way will become what we call miscreants,� the history professor told an antigay forum in Accra. He said: �Indeed the family is under satanic attack and we should take great care to protect it,� adding that: �We Africans have certain values and our friends who want to remain our friends in the Western world must respect our values.� According to him, the family system in the West is vanishing because that part of the World has allowed itself to be engulfed by homosexuality. �At least British recognises it is in a serious crisis today because as they themselves say: �The family has broken down�. The family in Europe has broken down. Two years ago, the British Prime Minister himself made a public announcement of this,� the former legislator who is also a Clergyman said.
