WHY WE EXIST
Great strides have been made to enhance the rights of same-sex attracted people over the decades in Switzerland.
​
Homosexuality still remains illegal in 69 countries around the world.
Today there is a new type of homophobia in Switzerland that the established LGBTQ+ groups are failing to tackle and, in many cases, are actually making worse.
​
They promote the idea that gender, the way you feel or dress, is more important than biological sex. As lesbians, gay men and bisexuals whose orientation is sex-based, we believe that replacing sex with gender means that we can no longer name or describe the discrimination we face and, therefore, that our hard-won rights can be dismantled.
​
LGB Alliance Switzerland believes that biological sex matters because our rights matter, that same-sex attraction is real, and we exist to support, celebrate and champion the very many people who feel the same way.
