The Founder and Leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar says the Ghanaian media is to be blamed for promoting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQI+) activities in the country.

He claimed the media's constant discussion about the LGBTQI+ community makes them popular and exposes them to children. 

"I was brought up in Ghana, and I know nothing about LGBTQI+. I think we were not taught that, and we must be cautious about how we are making it popular through various mediums," he said in a radio interview.

Mr Bediako, however, advised the media to refrain from trivialising the issue because they were rather drawing the attention of people, particularly children.

When asked about the controversial Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, Cheddar said "I think the constitution of Ghana should be reviewed slowly. If you try to change something with force, it can be broken." 

Mr Bediako called on Ghanaians, especially the youth, to support and join the New Force saying that the movement was the only hope Ghana had for redemption.
