Voters in Switzerland appear to have decided by a clear margin to allow same-sex couples to marry, according to a projection after a national referendum.

FILE - In this Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021 file photo, people take part in the Zurich Pride parade in Zurich, Switzerland, with the slogan "Dare. Marriage for all, now!" for the rights of the LGBTIQ community. Swiss voters will wrap up a referendum on Sunday Sept.

Switzerland’s parliament and the governing Federal Council supported the “Marriage for All” measure, and pre-referendum polls showed solid backing. Switzerland has authorized same-sex civil partnerships since 2007. Switzerland, which has a population of 8.5 million, is traditionally conservative and only extended the right to vote to all its women in 1990.

RuariBurt GREAT news!

Nowadays, liberals demanding for freedom. Equal rights man-woman. Same sex marriage. Freedom for bestiality. Sex in public......etc. all the satanic culture!

Well… it’s 2021 and there are people who believe on socialism and communism as if the 20th century never happened…

This is nonsense! Y marry, Christianity has been misused, the community leaders have no say in the faithfuls lives no wonder ppl r moving to i$lm & other religion. Wake up fools

About gd time, tbh

What year is it?

A sad day for children when their right to a family life is abolished in favour of adoption by same sex couples. Nobody has a 'right ' to adopt. It should be the children who come first.

Why is this even an issue in 2020

21st century - adults should be allowed to marry who they please.

Switzerland was neutral on Hitler so....not surprised. They're the Texas of Europe.

RIP to one of the last bastions of sanity in western Europe. It’s disgusting how so many people blindly support things because “durr it doesn’t affect me” without thinking at all about the ramifications it has on society as a whole. Individualism is a plague.

Wonderful news!!!!

Honestly shocked this was not already the case. At any rate… great!

“Switzerland, which has a population of 8.5 million, is traditionally conservative and only extended the right to vote to all its women in 1990.”

Ap handle that. I hope your well rested. Because you've been tagged Propaganda Trump loyalist. You should of did ur research about me . Word of advice you choose a losing side. AP why do you love Putin so much. How much. That's right not your party. I'm not the one. Source X

I thought Switzerland would've done this a decade ago.

Best democracy!

Hasn't Switzerland been neutral on pretty much everything forever? How is this just happening in 2021?

You go switzerland!!!!🇨🇭🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

when I meet my potential new boss my first question is always 'Are you married to a same sex partner?'

No one gives a 💩

Joke: The cabin boy comes to the captain of the pirate ship and asks: -Cap, what does it mean when the label is sent? -The black mark means death! -Cap, but they sent me a rainbow label! -Nothing good either!

Love....do not justify everything.

What? They haven't already?

Why not. Let them be miserable like the rest of us.

we really should not try to bypass nature's plan for human race continuing

Ah. Well done Swiss people. 👏

👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌💕💕💕💕

I still don’t understand why anyone cares about whom someone marries. It doesn’t affect anyone else.

Wait,really?!

When a social reform passes with this kind of margin, it means it was done far later than it could have been. switzerland gaymarriage gayrights

Opinion | Why Jesus wouldn't be surprised by polling on Christians and taxesToo often, Christian politics gets reduced to abortion and same-sex marriage — topics Jesus never talked about. The Gospels do record him speaking out about economic justice, though. THINK sorry.. have you read all of the many ways the Bible says you must live a certain way or else be murdered? The only 'Christians' who are 'tolerant' and not to be lumped in with the others are the ones who IGNORE parts of the doctrine. THINK People always don't understanding policy ☺️☺️ THINK The actual doctrine of Christianity is just as hardcore as Islam, there's a reason it's 1 of 3 abrahamic religions (christianity, islam, and judaism). Christians have destroyed so many lives and cultures, you MUST admit your atrocities, or I can't listen
