As mentioned in a post two days ago, Panamanians are mostly Roman Catholic. If you have heard the Pope on this topic, you can safely assume Panamanians are homophobic to an extent. Well, yes and no. While there is no same-sex marriage laws in Panama, as far as I can’t remember, they are not prosecuted either. In a similar way, depending on the circle, LGBT might or might not be accepted. In a way, society “taught” me to be homophobic without knowing why. And even then, I have several gay acquaintance there. However, in general, it was a “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell” general policy. When I moved to Canada, I noticed it was different. In fact, the first time I walked around Davie Village, you could tell there was freedom of sexual orientation. But, again, because of what I was taught, I was homophobic to an extent, without really knowing why. But, after all this years, I learned. Sexual orientation is a personal matter, just as every person has freedom of religion. Live and let live. Or, the poster as seen in the last picture. |
