I never supported the LGBT community. This was beyond my personal way of thinking as my family raised me to not be part of the community that is unfortunately hated. They were providing the example that they learned which forbid us me and my brother to talk, be around with, and to follow any of these people because all of my family generations were raised as Catholics that considered the behaviors of these people as a sin. Fortunately, over the years, my family has changed the way they think about the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community with our constantly changing world including the laws, culture, and education that are constantly evolving to provide a better life for all of their citizens. Until 2014, I had never thought that a friend of mine would be part of this community. This changed when my friend of three years told me he was bisexual, changing my perception of the people that is pitifully not being considered as part of our citizens by bullying, homophobia, etc. Thanks to my friend, I totally managed to use this to form a new learning experience that completely changed my life by looking at these people differently. It all started last year when this close friend revealed his secret to me. At first, I thought he was lying because I never had a single clue that he felt attracted to men; he was always dating girls, saying they were cute, gorgeous, and that he loved to kiss them, etc. At the same time, not knowing what to respond was my biggest concern because he could feel rejected or frustrated. Trying to comprehend this was difficult and, simultaneously, I reflected about what he just said and while he was still waiting for my answer, I organized my ideas to express how I was handling this big "revelation”. Afterwards, I talked to him saying that I would not change the way I think of him because he is one of my closest friends. He immediately felt relieved as well as happy and joyful for finally telling the truth. As I mentioned before, I did not support those kinds of behaviors such as same-sex relationships, same sex marriage, parades, etc. Unfortunately, in Panama, only 23% of the population supports the LGBT community and the other 77% does not support them, according to the newspaper La Estrella de Panama. Also, the Panamanian government passed a law saying that the same sex marriage was forbidden. As soon as I heard these laws and lack of culture from the Panamanians, I thought of my friend. What is going to happen to him? Is he going to be able to handle the pressure and homophobic comments from the population? Many things came to my mind as I was trying to figure out the future of my friend. As I mentioned earlie
