Both LGBT+ campaigners and religious fundamentalists are protesting as courts debate the future of same-sex marriage in Panama.
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which theoretically has power over Panama, has already ruled the country must legalize same-sex marriage.
But despite that, the issue has stalled. Now the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is hearing evidence on marriage equality in Panama.
Moreover, the country’s own Supreme Court of Justice is also moving forward. It’s had a backlog of marriage equality cases dating back as far as 2016.
