Gay Pride 2009
This year's Pink Egg, for the
most homophobic person or institution in Panama, went to the La Cascara
television show for the stereotypes it frequently portrays.
This year's Pride celebrations, which were again small and again rained upon, were organized by the Association of New Men and Women of Panama (AHMNP), the organization that fights for the rights and interests of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. The Panamanian culture prizes privacy and to a certain extent this protects gay people with the common attitude that it's nobody else's business, but on the other hand this same cultural trait keeps a lot of this country's gay population from openly declaring their identities and taking public stands on issues that relate to their status.
