Information on the situation for homosexuals
in Panama:
Legal
Homosexuality is legal in
Panama, or at least homosexuality is not mentioned in the law. Surprisingly
little information was found.
In 1998, Panamanian gays
launched their own political party, The Association of Panamanian Homosexuals,
claiming to represent 75,000 citizens.
If you have any further information
on the current situation in Panama, please contact
