Of course!

There's nothing wrong in being gay, I was simply discussing why some countries outlaw it.

We are talking about Ghana where all the options you mention are not available to the majority of the population and even if they were, they wouldn't have the money.

Imagine a gay person being responsible for a significant portion of the income of their family, would they risk jail to express themselves or would they not risk to go to jail to not put their family in troubles?

It's, ça va sans dire, unacceptable for our standards.

Yes, but it's Ghana, not California.

I fell I have have to explain that I'm totally against it, but politically - that's the reason why this law it's being enforced - it will probably play a role in the political propaganda.
