Switzerland holding referendum on same-sex marriage
People in Switzerland are voting to decide whether to allow same-sex marriage. Switzerland is one of the last countries in western Europe not to recognise same-sex marriage, and supporters say the change in the law is long overdue.
But there is opposition from some church groups and right wing political parties, who claim it would undermine the traditional family.
