Annual Pink Egg award at Gay Pride observances 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.
