Same sex couples legally marry in Switzerland
The first legal samesex weddings have taken place in Switzerland. Nine months ago the country held a referendum where 64 of the Swiss public voted for the Marriage for All law. On 1 July, happy couples were able to legally tie the knot and will enjoy the same rights as heterosexual couples, like the right to adopt. The newlyweds described it as a symbolic day where samesex couples will now also be able to convert their registered partnership into marriage.
