Swiss voters approved a new law that will make it illegal to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation.
The country voted in favour of the anti-homophobia national referendum by a majority of 63.1%. Of Switzerland's 26 regions, only three had majorities vote against the new law.
Voters "are saying unmistakably that hatred and discrimination have no place in our free Switzerland," Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter said.
