I found information that Switzerland plans national referendum on same sex Civil Unions, in summer 2005. In late 2003 public opinion showed great support for full Civil Marriage for same sex coupels. 65% of tham agreed, and only 31% disagreed with that issue. Now after adoption of law on Civil Unions in June 2004, started "YES" campagne for support Civil unions in referendum. (small Christian Democratic Party has assembled 50 000 signatures needed to make national referendum on the issue!)
The canton level laws appear to provide/allow "registered partnership"/civil unions between opposite sex couples (as well as same sex couples). Do the nationwide laws also allow partnerships between opposite sex couples or only same sex couples? Nil Einne 19:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know if RPs are recognized by the US government as a same-sex marriage? (About to get into an RP with my Swiss boyfriend...) I'm curious and it also seems like it would be a useful addition to this article. Thank you. -- Pnoeric ( talk) 22:06, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
Total number of Registered Partnerships in 2007 is 2003 of same-sex couples -

The subsection about opposite sex couples is misleading. What national level is should be clarified. In fact registered partnership is not recognized at the federal level for opposite sex couples and I am not sure if and which cantons are recognizing it.
The result of the move request was: page moved. Andrewa ( talk) 00:53, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Registered partnership in Switzerland → Recognition of same-sex unions in Switzerland – First of all for consistency with other relating articles. Also because of the fact that this article does not only talk about the registered partnerships in Switzerland but also includes a section on same-sex marriage, so the new title would be more appropriate. 2607:FEA8:559F:FA30:3453:806E:BFD1:1121 ( talk) 20:35, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Being swiss, I am pretty sure it's illegal for single people to adopt children. You have to be married for 10 or 15 years (not sure for the number of years) to gain the right to adopt children. Stepchild adoption is faster. Givibidou ( talk) 19:00, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Really annoying to see over −14'773 removed without opening a discussion prior doing so and to legitimize the move only with «I have the feeling it's too long». Not a great way of collaboration at all. Ngagnebin ( talk) 19:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
Should this information regarding Catholic priests extending blessings to same-sex couples in Switzerland be included?
'The Catholic News Agency reported churches in about 80 German cities — and in Zurich, Switzerland — had already conducted the blessings, which were open to all couples. The ceremonies, known as ‘Segnungsgottesdienste für Liebende,’ or ‘blessing services for lovers,’ were promoted using the hashtag ‘#liebegewinnt’ (‘love wins’). Organizers said that the services were open to all couples, including — and in particular — those of the same sex,” reported CNA.
“In many places, a general blessing was given at the end of the service, which, however, explicitly included homosexual couples and their relationships. Sometimes individual blessings were offered after the ceremony,” according to the news agency'
