Politician says gay men are ‘not OK’ but lesbians are ‘sort of’ acceptable
A Swiss politician has pronounced that gay men are “not OK” – but he doesn’t mind lesbians as much.
The claim comes amid a debate in the country on whether to extend full marriage and adoption rights to same-sex couples.
Switzerland has been slow to adopt same-sex marriage, lagging behind neighbouring France and Germany.
Ahead of discussion of the issue in Parliament, Christian Ineichen tweeted that “we should stay within the limits of biology” on the issue.
According to The Local, he elaborated: “Man + Woman: OK. Woman + Woman: sort of OK. Man + Man, not OK.”
The comments led to criticism from other politicians and the country.
