Michael Essien Shares Picture of His Family After Receiving Backlash from social media for Supporting Homosexuality

Michael Essien Shares Picture of His Family After Receiving Backlash from social media for Supporting Homosexuality; For the past week, a lot of Ghanaians have descended on the Ghanaian legendary footballer, Michael Essien after throwing his weight behind the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in Ghana.

In an Instagram post, he remarked that Ghana supports equality, hence the voice of the LGBT must also be heard.

“We see you, we hear you, we support you. Our LGBTQIA plus Community in Ghana #ghanasupportequality ????“, he wrote.

Michael Essien who had a successful club career with Chelsea came under a hot social media attack when he made this post supporting the LGBT movement in Ghana.

Even though he eventually pulled down the post after many backlashes, reports suggest he lost many followers after that post.

He has remained silent over the issue until yesterday when he posted a picture of his nuclear family with their faces covered.

The Duchess of Sussex has said she found life within the British Royal Family so difficult that at times she “didn’t want to be alive anymore”.

In a deeply personal TV interview, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that she did not get help when she asked for it.

She said a low point was when Harry was asked by an unnamed family member “how dark” their son Archie’s skin might be.

Prince Harry also revealed that his father, Prince Charles, stopped taking his calls when he wanted to step back.

The highly-anticipated interview with Oprah, which the couple were not paid for, aired overnight in the US.

During the two-hour CBS special, to be screened in the UK on ITV at 21:00 BST on Monday night and on ITV Hub, Courtesy of Harpo Productions/CBS, the couple covered a range of topics, including racism, mental health, their relationship with the media and Royal Family dynamics.

They also announced their baby, which is due in the summer, is a girl and revealed they actually married three days before their public wedding in May 2018, in a simple ceremony conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The couple moved to California after formally stepping down from royal duties in March 2020, and it was announced last month that they would not be returning as working members of the Royal Family.

Meghan said that she started to feel lonely when limits were placed on what she could do, revealing that at one point she did not leave the house for months.

At one point she thought she “could not feel lonelier”, she told Oprah.

Asked by Oprah if she was thinking of self-harm and having suicidal thoughts at some stage, Meghan replied: “Yes. This was very, very clear. Very clear and very scary. I didn’t know who to turn to in that.”

Meghan said that she felt “haunted” by a photograph from an official event she attended with Harry at the Royal Albert Hall while she was pregnant.

“Right before we had to leave for that (event), I had just had that conversation with Harry that morning,” Meghan said.

Winfrey asked: “That you don’t want to be alive anymore?”

“Yeah,” Meghan confirmed…
