President's daughter hopes coming out will change anti-gay laws

Brenda Biya, the daughter of Cameroon's President Paul Biya, has publicly come out as a lesbian, aiming to challenge her country's laws banning same-sex relations.

In an interview with Le Parisien, she expressed her hope to inspire others and change the "unfair" law. Brenda shared a photo on Instagram of herself kissing Brazilian model Layyons Valença, which received mixed reactions.

Despite family objections, she stands by her decision to reveal her sexuality to provide hope and support for others.

Cameroon's laws currently punish same-sex relations with up to five years in prison, and rights groups praise her courageous move.
