PANAMA – Latin American country rejects same-sex marriage in landmark court case; not a ‘human right’
Panama’s Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage has no ‘constitutional recognition’
“There is a reality, and it is that, until now, the right to equal marriage is no more than an aspiration, even though a legitimate one for the groups involved, and it does not fall into the category of a human right or a fundamental right,” said the court, in the ruling dated Feb. 16 but released on Mar. 1.
