Our campaigns are proof that love wins. Here are some of our greatest victories (so far!).
Switzerland said "YES" to marriage equality!
In December 2020, Switzerland's government finally announced that they would introduce marriage equality.
However, conservative opponents got together and managed to force a referendum on the issue, to be held in September 2021.
When the news of the public vote broke, hundreds of All Out members started sharing their LGBT+ wedding pictures in solidarity with LGBT+ people in Switzerland. Check out some of the beautiful photos here:
As the referendum approached, the All Out community did it again: thousands of us, from around the world, signed a message in support of marriage equality in Switzerland.
Our Swiss partners from “Yes, I do Switzerland”, were absolutely overwhelmed by the solidarity and love sent their way. So, they passed on the heart-warming pictures and notes to the Swiss voters.
And then it happened!
On September 26, the Swiss people overwhelmingly voted YES on marriage equality! More than 64% of voters backed same-sex marriage in the referendum.
This was a huge victory for our Swiss LGBT+ community, and the result of many years of hard work by activists and organizations in the country.
