LGBTI Parade in the City tomorrow Saturday July 1

This year the parade will not be called Gay Pride, but rather Panama Festival for the Inclusion of Everyone.

Festivities will begin at 11 a.m. at El Mirador and the parade will start at the Hotel Miramar through the Cinta Costera. The Grand Marshall for this year will be Panama's First Lady Lorena de Varela, which is a first for Panama.

 

There are bills in the courts in order to legalize Gay Marriage and the First Lady is an advocate, however, there is also great opposition and there will be a counter march called March for the Family held mainly by Christian opponents to Gay Marriage.

Anyhow, with Germany's legalization of gay marriage and more countries making it legal, it should be expected that even though a large group opposes legalizing gay marriage, the law is passed, so let's see. 

If in the city tomorrow, avoid the Cinta Costera and central areas due to traffic jams because of the march.

  • Mark, would you be man enough to put your full name and picture on this public site? Or are you one of those trolls who just lurk and then pounce on someone with personal insults? If so, please crawl back under the rock you were hiding under...

    Your post contributed absolutely nothing to the subject matter and as you can see from Olga's pretty "strong" reply to Juan, she doesn't need your help!

    • Walter, I lean to the right and even though I have been attacked, everyone knows me and how to reach me. In these politically correct days, the left insults and attacks, everyone feels their rights are above others and sadly people just hide to prevent confrontation. It is sad but real, the beauty of life, imho, is to agree to disagree with respect.

      It will be a very boring world if we all had the same ideas, beliefs and thoughts
      • I fully agree with your last statement. 

        There is nothing wrong with being opinionated and have different views (in my opinion:-).

        But sometimes, a statement (especially when it concerns race, nationality, religion or sexual orientation) might leave someone hurt or insulted and then you have to be prepared for some angry backlash. This has nothing to do with political leanings, just with a quick reflection of  whether any members could be personally affected or insulted by your opinion. Political orientation is just a superficial attribute to a person's individuality; sexual orientation - just like race or creed - is not. That's where a bit of restraint would be quite a good thing...

        What bugs me is that some members who never have an opinion on anything of substance  just wait for an opportunity to attack/insult others, like this "Mark" guy...

        I wonder why he said "we are all sorry...". Does he represent a group or does he have multiple personalities?

         

    • Walter,

      You know why he can't post his name and photo, posters here who lean 1% conservative are viciously attacked and in some cases are threatened with great bodily harm by the liberals here.  Ning management goes to great lengths to sanction and in some cases remove these liberals for the safety of the members.  You know better.

      • Mad man.
  • I am actually against gay adoption but pro gay marriage due to legal reasons. They have the right of inheritance and medical decisions just as hetero couples do.

    I really don't care who you choose to love however I am not pro transgender issues such as parents encouraging their childrens sex change at a you ger age, could be that I am ignorant of the fact but I know there is male and female and sexual preferences as gay or lesbian but nowadays there too manh genders and identifiers that are just plain weird to me
    • Gee, Olga. Aren't you special.  You can cherry pick what you think is right and wrong.  Who do you think you are?  You are an offensive person! 

      • When did I offend you Allan? I don't recall ever interacting with you, however this character is always insulting people here.

        I give you posts that concern Panama and I respect everyone's beliefs and as such I expect the same
    • Guess what Olga- we don't give a shit about your beliefs. We all have our own.
      • Bravo Juan!
