Switzerland Approves Same-Sex Marriage

In a move putting it in line with other European Union countries, Switzerland approved same-sex marriage in a national referendum.

Switzerland's parliament and the governing Federal Council supported the "Marriage for All" measure. Switzerland has authorized same-sex civil partnerships since 2007.

Most countries in Western Europe already recognize same-sex marriage, while most of those in Central and Eastern Europe don't allow wedlock involving two men or two women.
