In this episode of  The Swiss Connection podcastExternal link, host Susan Misicka talks with some couples who explain why it’s important to them. We also hear from opponents of Swiss legislation granting same-sex couples the right to marry.

In particular, we visit a gay couple at their home in Bern. They got married in the Netherlands five years ago, but in Switzerland, they only have a registered partnership. Here they share their love story and plans for the future.
