National LGBTIQ+ Survey 2019

Tabea Hässler & Léıla Eisner

In this report we will present the results of a large national survey of LGBTIQ+ people (i.e., individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, intersexual, queer, and other sexual or gender minorities) in Switzerland. Despite changes toward greater acceptance and equality, LGBTIQ+ people in Switzerland still suffer from discrimination and face structural inequalities. For example, marriage for same-sex couples (sometimes called same-sex marriage) and joint adoption are currently not legal and LGBTIQ+ people are not protected against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
