It wasn't just the West paying attention, either. News agencies in countries like Kenya, where homosexuality is punishable with up to 14 years' imprisonment, also took notice - evidence of the ripple effect caused by the Prince's cover.Making history! This is amazing ❤️ https://t.co/8Zme956kb4

The cover is doing what it is meant to do: Raise global awareness of the scourge of homophobia, even in countries where homosexuality can lead to state-sanctioned oppression, and sometimes death. The hope is that cover stories such as these, featuring prominent people supporting the LGBT community, will lead to a sea change in attitudes.Britain’s Prince William appears on gay magazine cover https://t.co/kDveweVhZEpic.twitter.com/5UmvmETtnI
