While Panama is a special place in the world, the gay life is small to hidden. I went a disco there but can't remember the name. It was small with an outdoor section to it too. I met a great friend there and met his friends too and while it seemed like I was on a roll to meet other family, just seemed non-existent. In some chat rooms you will find very friendly guys who are eager to show the city. Hopefully others can share better news. Aside from that you should enjoy the country very much.
