The law that protects citizens from racial, ethnic and religious persecution will now also include discrimination based on sexual orientation.
More than 63 percent of voters accepted on Sunday the proposal to broaden Switzerlands current anti-racism legislation to encompass sexual orientation.
However, the proposed law for more affordable housing was defeated, with 57.1 percent votes cast against it.
With the acceptance of the anti-homophobia legislation, Switzerland will join a handful of other European nations where public incitement to hatred, discrimination, and violence on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. [ ]
But not everyone was pleased with the referendums result.
Opponents of the measure argued throughout the campaign that anti-homophobia law would violate the constitutional right to free speech.

Goodbye free speech.
And the absolute clash with Sharia Law.
But heterophobia is legal.
they’ve already passed so many stupid freedom restricting laws, saddened but not surprised it passed.
they have a male hating law that says no peeing standing up after 10pm. freaking insane misandrists.
Like the old boy said he went in the Army and homos were kicked out and/or jailed when ‘caught’ homoing.
Then they eased up, cut out the stockade time and let them out if they wanted out.
Now he is getting out before being a homo is mandatory.
Along with that, it’s also illegal to flush toilets after 10 pm. Phew.
How “progressive” of them! Their society is advancing so much that people are no longer free to speak their mind!
You mentioned that law before. How is that even remotely enforceable ?
Degeneracy is in, morality is out. What a wonderful combination for fomenting a total revolution.
women
You mean a man - in his own house - takes a leak after 10pm and doesn’t sit on the can while doing so, he’s breaking the law ? Utterly unenforceable. I need to ask my uncle about that one.
Increasingly all over the world, Gods judgment is being revealed. They are being given over to a depraved mind.
Heterophobia and misandry are perfectly okay and encouraged by government fiat.
Swiss gay haven
Yes. Rainbow Sharia shall be replaced by Real Sharia, in short order, by Mooslems that “know” a wife.
You have something against the 19th Amendment?
Is “homophobic” a construct primarily made by females?
Goodbye indeed. Wait until someone says, “There is no gay gene,” and is fined or arrested despite the fact that it is true. Wait until some priest or minister says, “Homosexual acts are a sin.” Who is to say what is hate speech?
What’s more, Coca Cola actively supported this legislation in Switzerland.
Finally, there is no such thing as “homophobia.” Is that hate speech?
Phobia mean fear. I doubt anyone fears gays. Some just don’t approve. There needs to be a more accurate word than homophobia.
Scientifically/medically speaking, you can’t legislate “fear” or a “phobia”. That would be like make feelings illegal. Did Sweden make it illegal to be angry, or sad? No. Did they REALLY make illegal to have a “phobia” or be “afraid” of something?
I don’t know about legislating feelings. But people should should be afraid of it.
