Tens of thousands of Swiss people took to the streets of Zurich September 4 in support of the country's same-sex marriage referendum and for the Alpine country's annual Pride celebration.
This year's Pride theme was "You can do it. Marriage for everyone now." The pridegoers marched in favor of passing the national referendum that goes before Swiss voters September 26.
The bill was sponsored by Marriage for All, the country's marriage equality campaign. The National Council passed the marriage equality bill in December 2020.
Members of the Federal Assembly's lower house voted 136-48. It passed even with the conservative Swiss People's Party's 53-seat majority, reported the Los Angeles Blade.
