(Switzerland) - A Swiss right-wing political party has agreed to either change or remove advertising posters which call gay couples infertile. The Swiss People’s Party (UDC) is campaigning against a proposal to extend tax benefits to same-sex partners. The party's general secretary added to the controversy by telling Leman Bleu TV that gay people contribute nothing to society because they do not have children. A referendum will be held on 20th May on the proposal to allow same-sex couples to be exempt from inheritance tax if when one of them dies.
