PANAMA CITY — A Panamanian diplomat who donned a lace dress and with a banana in his bustline for carnival in Spain has offered to resign amid outrage at home over the gender bending display.
Italo Afu, Panama's consul in the Spanish Canary Islands, on Monday apologized profusely.
"Given the distaste in Panama over my behavior, I have decided to offer the foreign ministry my resignation and they can make the decision they see as appropriate," Afu told Telemetro.
