Is it an endorsement or what?\u201d he quizzed explaining that \u201cthe school\u2019s anthem that we know, everybody who is a student knows, that it&#8217;s sung at all wedding ceremonies, even Odade3\u2019s do it, but this one it happened at the wrong place\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Counselor Lutterodt was appalled by the friends and colleague old students of Achimota who graced the occasion emphasising that \u201cPaul if you are having a party and I don\u2019t know you and I don\u2019t know what you are doing I won\u2019t come. So if really the rest of the people who went to the party are normal and sensible, they will talk their friend out of it but because they are birds of the same feathers who can sing the anthem together and they are practising these things in common then it\u2019s easy for them to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a shame to us\u201d, he exclaimed suggesting that Achimota should have distanced themselves from the anthem that was sung at the gay wedding.<\/p>\n<p>The former student of Achimota High School, Stephen Anertey got married to his old time male friend, Ryan Lathrum in a public gay marriage in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The Achimota school anthem was sung by about 8 people believed to be his colleagues at the time he was a student in 1991.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGhanaHomePage%2Fvideos%2F1628752577202134%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=600\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 38 updated by: 38 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 8 September 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-09-08 play videoCounselor George Lutterodt speaking on Good Evening Ghana &#13; The public gay wedding of an old Achimotan broke the internet last week as the issue was subject of discussion on social media.
