It remains clear that the recognition of the consensual union between two adults of the same sex as a marriage is a human right that must be respected. The Inter-American Court has established an obligation for countries like Panama to adapt their legislation and institutions to this new reality. The time has come for prejudice, intolerance and discrimination are things of the past in public institutions that recognized a single family model. This is not a mere economic claim but a recognition of the existence of the right to dignity that exists for each person. Now the National Assembly, the Supreme Court of Justice and central government entities have the task of identifying and implementing the changes that must be made. That is the essence of a State of law that protects its citizens. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/opinion-facing-new-reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
