There Are Men Who Have Feelings For Other Men But I’m Not Gay- Kwabena Kwabena
Famous highlife artiste Kwabena Kwabena has rubbished several rumours claiming he is gay.
The basis of the series of allegations of him being gay is due to his choice of outfit.
Kwabena Kwabena’s outfit for the 24th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards(VGMAs) attracted a lot of criticism with others claiming his dress wasn’t fit for the occasion but he decided to represent the gay group.
Reiterating the gay claim he said in the past he was perceived to be a womanizer so it is not surprising he is being tagged as gay also currently.
The fashion that was in vogue, in the 1970s, he says, was the inspiration for the outfit he wore to the 24th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
“Nowadays I watch James Brown, Jimmy Hendrix, Senior Eddie Donkor, Obuoba JA Adofo, and the 70s pop culture and they dress to strike you. What was unfortunate [about people’s comment on my outfit] was sexualizing it,” he said.
In an interview recently with Zionfelix, Kwabena noted that sexuality is a state so it is possible for men to have feelings for women and likewise men.
“Being gay or not being gay is not like an association. Just as you have sexual feelings for women, those who do that (gays) are in a state, they have feelings for men. But I don’t have any feelings for men”.
“Sexuality is a state. It is not something you learn. It is either you are attracted to the same sex or not. There are people who are attracted to the same sex. But I am not. But it doesn’t make me somebody who has a problem with somebody in that state. But to put on record, I have three kids and I had them with women,” he further explained.
He said it is very wrong for people to conclude he is gay because of how he dresses.
“There are individuals whose physical appearances look like the opposite sex but when you go into their sexuality, you would be surprised to know they are not what you think they are,” he noted.
Kwabena Kwabena was of the view that some people like judging people wrongly but that will not deter him from his choice of appearance.
