Switzerland has become the latest nation to legalize marriage equality.CNN reports that voters in the country overwhelmingly approved a measure to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples, as well as to allow for adoption by same-sex parents.
61.4% of citizens of the nation approved the measure–nearly a two-thirds majority.“We are very happy and relieved,” Antonia Hauswirth of the national committee “Marriage for All” said in a statement, welcoming the approval.
