Brenda Biya, the daughter of Cameroon’s president, continues to be praised for coming out. Biya, who lives in the US and Switzerland, officially came out as LGBTQ+ on Instagram on 30 June, with a picture of her sharing a kiss with girlfriend, Brazilian model Layyons Valença. Since then, she has spoken about her hope of helping other queer people in the central African country and her desire to see the gay sex ban to be lifted – however distant such a move might be. Same-sex activity is illegal in Cameroon, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine. Queer people in are frequently subjected to discrimination.
