@medicparken We've lived in Panama since 2019 and are both retired. We're city boys (lived in Chicago for decades) and call Panama City home.

The court decided against us last year, but the case has been filed with the Interamerican Commission on Human Rights in Washington, which will choose if the case goes before the Interamerican Court of Human Rights in Costa Rica. This may take years. I inform you this because we have been relatively lofty profile on social media and on TV because of that. We own faced online hate, but have never faced discrimination or verbal abuse in person. We had no issues looking at any apartments and had no trouble buying, other than we believe that the bank we looked at for a mortgage dragged their feet because we were a gay couple. We eventually told them to pound sand and we paid cash.

If you have not yet been to Panama it is an absolute must. We only spent ten days in Panama and were pleasantly surprised to discover gay owned hotels (like this luxury boutique in Bocas Del Toro) and a great homosexual scene in the Panama Municipality itself.
We met up with Roberto Broce in Panama City to find our more about ‘gay Panama’ and find out if Panama is gay friendly.
Who is Roberto? ‘Hi! My name’s Roberto Broce, I’m 26 years mature and I work as a marketing analyst for the Innovation Centre of a foundation here in Panama called Ciudad del Saber. I’ve been travelling for 10 years living in almost every continent around the society, partaking in several social causes in places like China and Australia. I like kitesurfing, astronomy, and adventure travelling. !”

A Queer Guide To Panama City
This upload is also free in: Español (Spanish)
This gay travel reference is your passport to exploring Panama City through a queer lens, uncovering its LGBTQ+ amiable spaces, events, and experiences that will make your attend truly unforgettable.
Panama Metropolis has become more tolerant of Gay life over the last 10 years, and is now a place that same-sex couples will enjoy visiting. It’s not necessarily a place where you will see couples holding hands in public nor is same-sex marriage legal, but this hasn’t stopped a robust queer community of locals and foreigners to be out and proud! There is now a huge yearly celebration parade that takes place in Casco Viejo, lots of gay-friendly establishments, and overall so many unique experiences to have in Panama.
Does Panama City possess a gay neighborhood?
Via Argentina is the unofficial “gayborhood” in Panama City. It’s not super same-sex attracted, but is the most funky neighborhood in Panama Municipality so you uncover a little bit of everything here. The main street of Via Argentina has several cafés, bakeries, small bars, and a park to keep a visitor entertained, so it can be a great option for peopl
