Switzerland doesn't have same sex marriage? I'm surprised.
Women were not allowed to vote in some parts of Switzerland before 1990.
I really fell victim to my northern Europe is so far ahead socially bias there. Didn't know the facts. Thanks.
It's not Northern Europe either.
It does now, since 2022.
The first modern country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands, in 2001. The most recent was Greece in 2024.
I think the reality of it being a complete non-issue makes it easy to forget that it is a relatively recent change in public opinion and that it still isn't legal in most of the world.
