Took some time,
and we had equality rights now for some time country-wise, but this is the last step; marriage and adoption. Fun how the majority of the citizen don't oppose it but the march through the institutions takes time.
However, this is even backed up by the very conservative Christian party. It took some time, and if we manage this through, marriage between same sex couples, adoptions, having kids, will no longer be anything that will be questioned.

The Legal Affairs Committee of the National Council, which is the lower house of the Swiss Federal Assembly, voted 12-2 to approve a “marriage for all” initiative introduced by the Green Liberal Party on Friday.
Pink Cross, Swiss Rainbow Families Association and Transgender Network Switzerland welcomed the move in a joint statement.
“The Swiss LGBT umbrella associations support marriage equality and applaud the members of the Legal Affairs Committee of the National Council for their support and foresight and for assuming their responsibility to grant all Swiss the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution,” they said.
