Gwendolyn Posted Wednesday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:46 PM The daughter of Cameroon's president has shared an image in which she is kissing another woman, sparking mixed reactions in a country where same-sex relationships are illegal. The Instagram post shows 26-year-old Brenda Biya embracing Brazillian model Layyons Valença. "I'm crazy about you & I want the world to know," Ms Biya wrote, adding a love heart emoji. Her 91-year-old father, Paul Biya, became Cameroon's president in 1982 and is one of Africa's longest-ruling leaders. Those engaging in same-sex acts or relationships in the Central African nation face up to five years in jail. Ms Biya - a musician who goes by the name King Nasty - did not explicity state her sexuality when posting the picture of the kiss. However, some time after the image was published, Ms Biya shared an article from Le Monde, in which the French newspaper reported that she had "come out". "Oh what a news, love wins," Ms Biya wrote. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj7dnm3elkdo 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK what's going on in Cameroon but I'm guessing a lot of people there aren't obsessed with the eligibility community? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
