In Switzerland, the vote regarding the amendment to the law for same-sex marriage was on the agenda on Wednesday. However, after a brief discussion in parliament, the debate was broken off and the decision was postponed until 11 June.<\/p>\n

It was clear that the introduction of marriage for everyone in Switzerland would only require the formal approval of the National Council. The majority in the Swiss parliament would vote for a change in the law, this had been clear for some time. Accordingly, on Wednesday many homosexual couples in Switzerland were very much looking forward to gay\/lesbian wedding bells ringing soon.<\/p>\n

But they rejoiced too soon: as soon as it is about having children, it seems that the unity is over. On the question of whether lesbian couples are allowed to have children through sperm donation, the National Council refused to agree. The dispute delayed the programme, and shortly afterwards the President of the National Council, Isabelle Moret, announced that the debate would be postponed. On 11 June, i.e. at least during this session, a final decision will now be taken.<\/p>\n

The vote planned for yesterday was preceded by years of legislative back and forth with countless discussions. Seven years ago, the Green Liberals submitted a parliamentary initiative calling for marriage to be opened to all. But while Social Democrats (SP), Greens, Green Liberals and almost the entire ranks of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) have always been in favour of the introduction, the Christian Democratic People’s Party (CVP) and the Swiss People’s Party (SVP) have always voted against changing the law.<\/p>\n

+Die Schweiz will die #Ehefu\u0308ralle!\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08+ Am na\u0308chsten Mittwoch wird die Ehe fu\u0308r alle endlich im Nationalrat behandelt! Aktuell werden in dieser entscheidenden Phase der Ehe fu\u0308r alle vom Parlament zwei verschiedene Varianten diskutiert: Die \u00abPartnerschaft Plus\u00bb und die Ehe fu\u0308r alle mit tatsa\u0308chlicher Gleichstellung. Die Variante der \u00abPartnerschaft Plus\u00bb wu\u0308rde zu neuen Ungleichbehandlungen fu\u0308hren und wa\u0308re nur in wenigen Punkten eine relevante Verbesserung zur eingetragenen Partnerschaft: So wu\u0308rde der Zugang zum Adoptionsverfahren und die erleichterte Einbu\u0308rgerung ermo\u0308glicht. Doch die Absicherung der Familie und der Schutz von Kindern wird in dieser Variante ignoriert. Die Mehrheit der vorberatenden Kommission und der Bundesrat haben sich leider fu\u0308r diese \u00abPartnerschaft Plus\u00bb-Variante ausgesprochen. Doch wir ko\u0308nnen das nicht akzeptieren. Unsere Position ist klar: Ohne tatsa\u0308chlicher Gleichstellung und dem damit verbundenen Schutz von Paaren und Familien, kann man nicht von einer Ehe fu\u0308r alle sprechen. Wir ka\u0308mpfen deshalb fu\u0308r die zweite Variante, bei der gleichgeschlechtliche Paare in allen Bereichen heterosexuellen Paaren gleichgestellt wa\u0308ren. Die Ehe fu\u0308r alle mit tatsa\u0308chlicher Gleichstellung wu\u0308rde also auch Familien und Kinder absichern und Frauenpaaren den Zugang zur Samenspenden ermo\u0308glichen. Das, was fu\u0308r heterosexuelle Ehepaare schon lange mo\u0308glich ist. Wir geben in diesen letzten Tagen vor der Abstimmung nochmal alles und fu\u0308hren mit den Nationalrat*innen viele Gespra\u0308che, damit die Ehe fu\u0308r alle mit tatsa\u0308chlicher Gleichstellung eine Mehrheit findet!\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08<\/a><\/p>\n
