Amidst ongoing debates on marriage equality in Switzerland, a recent poll has shown widespread support for same-sex marriage just before the upcoming referendum.

In December of last year, Switzerland achieved a milestone by legalizing marriage equality, joining the ranks of 29 nations worldwide. However, in Switzerland, legislative decisions, including this one, can still face the possibility of being overturned through a referendum.

It appeared that the law to legalize marriage equality in Switzerland was unstoppable prior to the holidays, and this has been confirmed.

Switzerland now protects gay, lesbian and bisexual people from public hate speech, but this isn’t a beautiful victory.

A recent poll reveals strong voter support for the legalization of marriage equality in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, LGBTQ couples would like to enjoy the same benefits as straight couples, benefits to which they don’t lay claim to as equal marriage isn’t legal and same-sex partnerships, which were legalized in January 2007, don’t provide complete equality of rights.
