Kwaku Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah, the son of well-known Ghanaian broadcaster Kwasi Kyei-Darkwah (KKD) in a new video was seen leading his gay colleagues in a video call to discuss their husbands and more.
The young man came out as gay in 2017 where he disclosed that that has been his orientation since Primary school.
“The moment I realized I was gay happened in primary school. Someone called me gay as an insult and I responded with “so what?” I was totally fine with it, but others weren’t and that was when the discomfort and shame with my sexuality started. Living under my parents’ roof, I was constantly hiding. I’d get home from school and be incredibly quiet, helpful, and obedient. I stayed in my room most of the time. I was playing the role of the “ideal son” so I could just skate by unnoticed. It wasn’t until I was no longer living at home that I started to realize I wasn’t anyone or anything I’d known so far in my life.” “I went through a lot of ups and downs, trying out new ways of dressing, trying out new friendship groups, and reinventing myself over and over again. I realize I did this because I was still trying to fit in a box – the stylish black guy, the cool and macho black guy, the femme, flamboyant, and fun black guy. None worked because there is a lot more to me (and any person for that matter) than a stereotype. I am now very comfortable with my sexuality because I don’t feel I need to conform to anyone image.” he told intomore.com.
