Cameroon President’s Lesbian Daughter Seeks Review Of Anti-homosexual Laws

The daughter of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya, Brenda Biya, has expressed hopes that her public announcement as a lesbian on June 30, would inspire a change to the country’s anti-homosexuality laws

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the 27-year-old, who splits her time between the United States and Switzerland, shared a photo of herself kissing her girlfriend.

In an interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien published on Tuesday, Brenda revealed that she had not come out to her family prior to her public announcement.

“There are plenty of people in the same situation as me who suffer because of who they are,’ she said. ‘If I can give them hope, help them feel less alone, if I can send love, I am happy.”

Cameroon’s penal code punishes same-sex relations with up to five years in prison.

Despite her father’s longstanding leadership—President Paul Biya has been in power since 1982—he has not publicly commented on his daughter’s revelation.

Brenda highlighted that the anti-homosexuality law predated her father’s presidency.

She expressed hope that her openness could spark legislative changes. ‘It may be too soon for it to disappear completely but it could be less strict. We could first eliminate the prison sentence,’ she suggested.

Cameroonian LGBT rights activist Bandy Kiki, based in Britain, praised Brenda’s courage.

“She has affirmed the existence of LGBT people in Cameroon,’ Kiki said.

However, she pointed out the disparity in how anti-LGBT laws are enforced, noting that the wealthy and well-connected often avoid severe consequences, while the poor face harsh penalties.

Brenda Biya’s brave declaration shines a light on the ongoing struggles of LGBT individuals in Cameroon and raises hopes for future legislative reform and greater acceptance.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”
