Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Cameroon face severe challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.[2][3] Both male and female kinds of same-sex sexual activity are illegal in Cameroon and LGBT people face prevalent discrimination among the broader population.[2][4] As of 2020, Cameroon "currently prosecutes consensual same sex conduct more aggressively than almost any country in the world".[5]
